We don't even need to presume socking, in that case. If they are a conscientious person who bothered to RTFM, we can hold them just as responsible for bad behavior as we would a more experienced editor.
What constitutes "bad behavior" is dependent in part on whether or not you're socking. According to arb com less than 24 hours ago, "Sockpuppet accounts are not to be used in discussions internal to the project, such as policy debates." While maybe that is an overbroad statement, I still think it's valid in at least some situations.
(There is the question from there of whether we should hold more experienced editors responsible for bad behavior more quickly and more severely, but that's off the topic of this thread...)
That too.
