Come on. That's a [[Hasty generalization]]. What if Essjay hadn't
messed up? Then we'd have a 0% failure rate!
"If we didn't fail as much as we actually did, we'd have a much lower
failure rate" isn't an interesting deduction.

half a dozen is a too low number. There is over 50 people with
potential access to checkuser, oversight if you count all wikis. So
it's 1 out of 50. Number increases many times more if you count
bureaucrats and other positions above sysop
Recall that english wikipedia is not equivalent to wikipedia.
