I agree, and I think this is really the point to take out of this. We should all operate on the presumption that when Danny does something, he's doing it for a Good Reason, and that one shouldn't undo it unless one has checked the reason behind it with Danny first (that's if it should even be undone at all). A little communication solves alot of problems.
But Danny has explicitly said (on this list) that he is also a normal editor, and only his actions that are accompanied with a statement that they are WP:OFFICE actions should be treated as such. So if he does something and does not tag it WP:OFFICE, we should all operate on the presumption that he is doing it in his capacity as a normal Wikipedian.
Silly, you didn't read the Ultraviolet memo that states that sometimes Danny makes WP:OFFICE actions under double-super-secret background, which are tagged only by the Ultraviolet WP:OFFICE tag. If you do not have Ultraviolet clearance, any reversions or contestations of Ultraviolet Double-Super-Secret Background actions will be grounds for immediate termination. Of course, if you do not have Ultraviolet clearance, you cannot see the Ultraviolet WP:OFFICE tag.
Finally, only those with Ultraviolet clearance are allowed knowledge of the Ultraviolet authorization level. So far as you are concerned Ultraviolet clearance does not exist, the above statements notwithstanding.
