I don't think we all do agree on that. You appear to think the problem is that it's difficult to de-admin an administrator. I think the problem is that we are creating administrators who are not part of the community, not familiar with its policies and norms, and not particularly interested in Wikipedia's goals.
This is really two ways of saying the same thing. I am agreeing that the standards at RFA need to be upped; it would be best if we never adminned someone who would have to lose it later. But we have to be realistic-- occasionally, the wrong people are going to get adminned, and we need a failsafe. That means we need a real, clean, and logical way to get irresponsible admins de-adminned.
