I was describing, not prescribing. For better or worse, your RFA is the place where you essentially voluntarily put yourself under the microscope. In a way, it's like a job interview, with all that entails.
It's quite rare for a company to put all job interviews on a closed circuit TV network to its entire staff so that even the most menial employees can vote on whether that interviewee will get a management job.
It has happened, famously, with some workers' cooperatives, and they inevitably fail for obvious reasons. Yet we persist in doing it here -- and worse, because we have no idea who our "menial employees" are, or whether we have one person filling several jobs -- using the excuse that adminship is "no big deal." Ditch that attitude, and we would quickly find a way to deal with some of our problems. So long as it's in place, there's no will to find creative solutions.
What problems are caused by too many admins? The way I see it, having more admins is a very good way to prevent abuse on their part, since they are accountable to more people "on their level". ~~~~
