Another Philosophical Question - Why Have Admins You Can't Trust?

I am constantly seeing hacks that limit the powers of admins for paranoid reasons. Prevent other admins from stealing your admin status, prevent other admins from doing this. Prevent them from doing that. I am stumped on this one. Why make somebody an admin if you do not trust them implicitly. The other thing is, why give another admin the password to mysql or to the ftp server? I don't believe that more than one person can efficiently hack a board. Two many cooks and all.

If by some obscure chance an admin did go nuts, I could still go into phpmyadmin and easily get my admin status back and remove theirs.
