We can't lower the bar. Admins need to be neutral, have a good grasp of policy and be non-destructive. We can't grant someone admin powers without knowing if they fulfill those criteria.
I've already mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but I'll say this again here in response to you:
Admins need to be neutral on the whole, but individual admins need not - just like individual editors need not have good intentions (i.e. we can handle vandals). Simply de-admin those that aren't.
We *CAN* grant admin powers without knowing if they fulfill any criteria at all - knowing full well that we can remove those admin powers again as soon as they fail the criteria.
