This is only true if there is no social norm forbidding a sysop to edit a protected page. At least, on the english and french wikipedia, I do think the rule of no-edit on a protected page exist. Maybe not on all projects ? Can you from your data gather such an information ? I mean, are there situations when a long-protected article actually grow and evolve during the protection ?
As far as I understand, an admin can edit the article if there is a rough consensus to do so on the talk page.
