Countering active admin flight

There is no reason to assume it does. You are comparing apples with pears.

It seems to me you are claiming that the number of necessary admin actions does not vary in proportion to the number of editors. There is a strong argument from induction that it does. Do you have any evidence that the correlation is zero or negative?

Why should I spend time proving a negative? Come up with data about admin actions, and we have something to talk about - well, even then the need for such actions may have decreased too.
