Second point might be factually true. How many of us would like to take an exam on policy? Is it any longer possible to be familiar with enough of the key policy pages?
No just take a look at WP:CSD.
Why is there no 'Dummies' guide? (Well, maybe there is and I just don't come across it.) Norms - well, yes, community norms are what actually matter.
Becuase you can't really simplify it. The way around the problem is that most admins specalise. I don't need to know the speedy delete stuff aplying to rediects becuase I never deal with it.
Potential solutions:
- Stop talking about a gap in terms that can only accentuate it
- Do something about a policy guide for non-veterans
Have you seen the size of the MOS lately? -- geni
