Exactly the same point I've made a few times.  Those who are expert in the 
use of the game rules, impose their view on those who are not expert.

Which is why I've suggested the establishment of a group of advocates for 
the editor versus the administrators who are viewed as policemen.  In a real 
society, the only classifications are not "public" and "police".  We also 
have checks and balances against the power of the police to force compliance.

In Wikipedia we do not have those checks and balances.
