--------------------------------------------
You set up a false dichotomy.  It is not that we have a choice between  "all 
administrators act responsibly" and "all administrators are  irresponsibly".
 
That is not the situation.  The true situation is that "some  administrators 
sometimes act irresponsibly."
 
To require a reversal of an arbitrary action *only* on the consensus of the  
community essentially encourages some admins to act irresponsibly even more  
often, because they know their actions will be even less often reviewed since  
the procedure to so-do is now beauracratic.  That is the wrong message to  be 
sending.
