At the moment, even granting that viewpoint, adminship is still pretty 
useful just for editing.  I can't count how many times it would have 
been a real pain in the ass if I hadn't been able to do things like 
delete a redirect to make way for a move, not to mention needing admin 
rights to edit things like [[Wikipedia:In_the_news]] in the first place.
