People who get adminship should display knowledge of the rules. If any newbie got those powers, this would be anarchapedia.
Many newbie admins readily admit they don't understand policy or how to perform most of their duties. They start slowly, and watch other admins for guidance. How is this harmful?
I'm a big fan of enculturation for admins - I've seen it turn admins I was somewhat concerned about into very good admins.
I need to proceduralise getting new admins onto #wikipedia-en-admins. Get 'em used to sanity-checking and peer review.
