This is preposterous.
Not to a person with an evangelical belief that he is endowed with that wisdom and authority.
And I'm well aware that we have such people amongst our admins. And I find them preposterous, of course.
I think this a socially explainable "ruling class" phenomenon. Admins are "trained" to think that way, because they have to rely on their judgment on a daily basis to block vandals. After a while one gets used to that power and learns how to silence dissent before it gets difficult. It is preposterous none the less.
