There is something to this. ArbCom does play the "quis custodiet?" role in
relation to the admins, who are a large group (and in proportion to their number only
sporadically cause problems).
I was actually quite relieved and happy at the quality of discussion
and candor that happened over the BJADON case, unhappy as I initially
was to be a participant.
It's a good thing to have someone out there looking at us in a
constructive critic role, outside the rest of the admins and the
userbase in general.
