Default Re: AP, rigged, etc. #8981.4 - the plot thickens

Why is the likelihood of a 'superuser' account so bizzare to some people? It's one of the basic corner stones of any computer system. Even this board has exactly this heirarchy, (user < moderator < administrator). I've written many programs, and while none of them are security based, I nearly always had a 'superuser' simply for debugging information, like, well I don't know, let's say seeing all the cards at a table. (Mine were engineering programs, but the principle is exactly the same.)
