Nahh, that's where the aspect of consent mentioned above comes in.

No, this doesn't affect anything I said. The roles are still the
same. The power and the responsibility is not tied to the human
individual, it is tied to whoever holds that position.

I don't argue -- you may note my seperation of hats on this list as
List Owner and as a mere member. However, this is really just
fracting (some say clarifying) the base position without altering its
structure or position.

Agreed, and there's a point where physical capability far outrules
technical control.
