It is not a social handicap to prefer logic and order to the judgements and "common sense" of others. Wikipedia has little or no concensus, particularly when it comes to policy. Perhaps on obscure article talk pages concensus occurs, but when it comes to policy the few determine the fate of the many. Wikipedia's command structure is an oligarchy, w little in common w a society of friends meeting.

Thats not an ideal admin. My ideal admin has no experience being an admin on wikipedia, and need not be an editor. Instead, he would be someone paid to follow and enforce rules, not make them up as goes along.
It strikes me, Jack, that you would prefer that because you have problems dealing with rules involving common sense and judgment and can only deal with rules that you can, by logic, determine whether you are doing a permitted thing.
I don't think Wikipedia should change to accomodate such a social handicap, which is what this is.
