The original post I replied to said "For every stupid user story, there is a stupid adminisrator story." This is untrue.

If an administrator is botching up multiple departments for months to years, he won't be an administrator for long. The employee who screws up his machine, however, is rarely held accountable.

I agreed. There are far more stupid users, and the stories about them are far easier to understand.

Well, unfortunately that is not true at all. Because their effects are near universal, unless they actually bring down the system entirely or large parts of it, if their acts continuously degrade everyones ability to work it is unlikely that their mis-steps will be noticed - especially as there is no "better" to compare performance with.
