You may even be right about what happens after a three month tenure.  In 
that case we would be able to drop the probationary provision.

Choosing a first random batch of 100, and reporting after 3 months about 
what happened to this group would support the radical concept of basing 
later choices on facts.  Thus:
    1. How many refused the nomination outright? (This group could be 
immediately replaced by new nominations.)
    2. How many went nuts?
    3. How many stopped editing within 1 month and within 2 months?
    4. How many continued editing without using admin powers?
    5. Which admin powers did they use?
    6. other questions?
