I think it's somewhat ridiculous to oppose an admin candidate for not
showing obvious familiarity with some aspect of admin work that s/he
may not even be interested in. (Opposing for showing that someone has
repeatedly gone about it all wrong is a different matter.) I expect
that anyone who has acted reasonably and responsibly in whatever they
have done to that point will not suddenly go crazy when approaching a
new task, and whatever beginners' mistakes may be made by someone who
is generally acting like a reasonable person are probably easy to fix.
No one should *have* to know everything before becoming an admin, just
show themselves willing and able to find out how to do something
before doing it.
