Yes, the guideline does say that.  The guideline that editors should
be bold is for newbies who need help in understanding how WIkipedia
works (i.e. not by a horrendous editorial system).  The principle[1]
that *all* editors (including admins) should be bold in their actions
where to do so would be to the project's benefit is so obvious that it
doesn't need stating.

Or does it?

[1] Principle is my word for basic policies, as the word "policy" has
been tainted.
