I suspect that for this to work repeatedly, you would either have space things out, in terms of both time and intervening genuine contributions, or you would have to make increasingly interesting mistakes.
If someone were constantly making and then retracting the same kinds of mistakes, I would notice that the retractions don't actually represent learning not to make that sort of mistake, and would not be happy with it.
