That's your hypothesis. As it hasn't been tested, it's not possible to say whether you are correct.

There's a reason why adminship isn't given to everyone. If you do it the other way around, abuse can cause a lot more damage before the person abusing the rights get blocked which will result in a lot more housekeeping to undo damage. It's nice in theory, but it simply doesn't work in practice.
People who get adminship should display knowledge of the rules. If any newbie got those powers, this would be anarchapedia.

IMHO, it should be easier to get adminship as a) it's No Big Deal(r) and b) all actions can now be reversed - and users can quickly be dysopped. The three month tenure, however, I find silly - if someone was good enough and behaved well for those three months then obviously they should be allowed to continue. Desysopping after three months would turn the whole RfA process into a lottery-like game - "if it's no big deal, why can't I continue as an admin?".
I also disagree with not allowing users to object to more than one RfA every three months - Wikipedia is not a democracy.

Nice. You appear to be going in the same direction as me, but I want
it
even more radical. :) In particular, your system still requires people to _ask_ for adminship (which, again, would be analogous to requiring them to apply for editing privileges instead of just letting people register freely), and I find one month a bit excessive. Other than
that,
I think you hit the nail on the head :)
