Yes .. everyone who wants to should have access to edit the map. The 
editing needs to be easy, fun and productive.. if it is not then most 
people will leave.
The more complex and technical OSM becomes the less information will be 
entered and the more probable incorrect entries will be made.
"Good mappers" contribute their time, knowledge .. usually at some cost 
to them, and want to see a result. OSM should accept that.
If OSM bars common people for 'helping' then there will be a narrow 
focus and a reduction in data entered.

No. It is OSM that looses the input from that person.

If OSM upsets people then some of them may well become vandals.
