And in my view, more importantly, why do people keep forgetting why 
Wikipedia exists? It's not intended to be a training ground for "skillfull, 
neutral administrators", but rather, an Encyclopedia.  The philosophical 
underpinnings are a method of producing that goal, but they are not the goal 
itself.  Changes which are purely for philosophical reasons, do not solve 
any apparent problems, and do not relate to achieving that goal, are simply 
not warranted.
