Sorry, I think you aren't aware what the context of this being titled Reversions was. It's not that Reversions in and of themselves are a bad sign of people doing bad things. There was a question as to whether or not reverted changes still counted towards badges. If they did, it imposes a bit of quality control on the badges. (Reverting, rather than editing, makes a different statement.)

It was part of a larger small discussion about how to make the badge system work as a way to grant contributor levels without being broken or easily manipulated without actual contribution.
