does he lead? In what way? Is that leadership contestable?
Jimbo's power is due mostly to the community accepting his pronouncements
Is this an honest assessment? Could a non-admin (or even a single admin) go against him and not get banned? Honestly? That is not a measure of respect or even deference except perhaps by a majority of admins.
