No, no.  There has to be a connection with a reality principle: bad 
judgement leads to consequences.  Otherwise we cannot get on with the big 
project.  'Capricious' is managing to look down the telescope the wrong way. 
There has _always_ been the principle that 'be bold' applies to editing, but 
admin powers are to use with great caution.  I mean, this goes back to the 
days Larry Sanger was on the project!
