Everything you say implies that to qualify for admin, you must BE an admin.

Chat Mod rights take more control than you probably think - it's similar to doing a small-scale test of an experiment before doing the main one, so you have an idea of what is going to happen.

And who are you to judge if a point is valid or not in this scenario? You're the one that'll get demoted if this happens, so you're obviously going to be heavily biased against any support for it.
