Well, the amount of policy a person has to absorb to become socialized at Wikipedia IS stupefying. There's a lot to think about and remember when you just get started.
I never really noticed that. I was here for months before I read all that much of policy. There are quite a few I still haven't read and I've been an admin since June.
If you have some basic common sense, and access to a trusted peer group (i.e. Kat, who *has* read all of the policy and is easy to talk to on IRC...) who also has common sense, you barely need to read the published policy.
