This is sort of why I think having it stated explicitly within the paper, not just an aside but part of the actual process. It's to pit less scrupulous journalists against one another, in an "honor among thieves" sort of way I guess. If someone wants to go ahead and write clickbait, they can, but it leaves them open to someone else looking to discredit them going "well, did you even read the paper? they told you not to write that." it's not so much checking for the public purpose, it's for others.
