We are supposed to be focusing on quality, not quantity, with respect to the encyclopedia articles. It's high time we did the same for administrators.
The big problem with this sentiment is that you think that quantity gets in the way of quality. That is a major mistake, because it will stop you from promoting people to adminship who would later turn out to be high-quality admins.
You can still demote the very-low-quality admins. You are under the impression that once someone is an admin, they can wreak havoc at will, but this is precisely the misconception that stops you from having enough good admins.
