The importance of a topic doesn't give a free pass to posts on it.
Maybe it would be better if important topics were held to higher standards, but that sounds hard to implement because there's too much to communicate about the standards. Voting certainly doesn't communicate it. In particular, I fear that people would hesitate to publish adequate posts.
Instead, post early and often.
