Not really since the system is set up so that for the most part the relevant policy can be applied mechanistically.

To the extent that this is true, it's a big part of the problems with our current set of policies. We need more people, administrators or not, who can exercise good judgment. Having policies that depend on and encourage its use is vital to developing a culture that will foster contributors with that skill.
