Sorry about this - it was born from a misunderstanding!
I was trying to consider ways to raise our edit limit, and our owner said that wouldn’t be possible and to look into other workarounds, so I came here with the understanding that for whatever reason we were refusing to just… raise the limit.
Turns out he thought the edit limit in question was our site’s restriction on editing posts after 24 hours, which users can get around by making any post they need to edit for longer than that a wiki.
Once that miscommunication was cleared up, he agreed to bump up our site’s daily edit limit as I had originally asked.
So hey, thanks for your time, and sorry this “devil’s advocate”-type stuff was needed in the first place.
