You do realize that for much of Wikipedia's history, the route to being an admin was much less strict than we have now. Despite this, and despite the fact that there are relatively very few cases of people being "de-adminned", cases of rogue admins doing huge damage are either non-existent or very rare, depending on what you consider "huge damage".
So, you know the history of Oversight then?
