You are missing the point of "privilege" then.  Privilege gives you access
to tools and right to shoot yourself in the foot.  It is obvious to me 
that someone was elevated to a privileged level without having the
necessary skill set.  Perhaps the better question is why are unqualified
people giving the tools to shoot themself?  Sounds like a management
issue, not a system design issue.

The question really is, is the cost of experienced personnel more than
the cost of educating your inexperienced staff to a proficiency level
high enough to gain privileged access?  If so, train your staff, otherwise 
expect to have visits to your office because someone shot your 
organization in the foot.
