If you  have enough of admins learning from high-profile admins, then there 
is a bias  for shifting the whole terms of engagement thing to, for example, a 
theory  that "admins should stamp on any disruption". Not so.  >>


---------------------------------
Well I'm currently arguing on the Talk of the Main Page that making the  Main 
Page full protect creates a two-tiered level of editor.  We create a  
situation where admins gain *permanent* editing priviledges on a particular  sub-set 
of article space.
 
I don't think the community ever agreed to that sort of dichotomy.   Protect 
was, to my mind, always supposed to be used in a temporary setting, to  
temporarily address content or vandalism issues.
