RfA should be reduced to a determination of whether the user is trustworthy or not. Their ability to make intelligent decisions should come into it somewhere.
That is indeed what RfA should become, but the problem which needs to be solved is how to set up the process so that this assessment is made in a more intelligent way other than simple voting. If, for instance, instead of asking the community to "Support" or "Oppose", they were asked "Is <x> trustworthy? Yes/No" the result would be indistinguishable from what we have now. The only change would be the heading over the top of the !votes.

Or demand justification for opposition in terms of why the user shouldn't have these powers.
