It has always seemed to me that those who take a, how do I say it, harsher interpretation of Wikipedia rules, policies and guidelines (e.g., deletionists, those adamantly against fair use image usage, etc) have always been able to create more of an impact on the project than those that have a less harsh view. Sometimes I really wonder where this project will be in five years.

Possibly the proportion of problems is so lo because some of the admins who would otherwise have been problems have become inactive. A few even say they are leaving to avoid stress,.
Quiet burnouts are possibly more problematic than noisy ones precisely because we don't know about them. And good hardworking volunteers burning out is bad in general.
