Oh I agree, but I think when we're talking about having a higher bar for RfBs (which I also don't agree with) then restricting who can vote makes more sense than changing the passing %. A % sufficient to show consensus is a % sufficient to show consensus, in other words, but if you want you can have a "consensus of trusted editors."
True, but RfA/B isn't about consensus, it's about "rough consensus" (which bares next to no relation to actual consensus). We could restrict RfB to trusted editors, but you would need to define trusted editors more broadly than just admins.
