[wp-testers] User Level revisited (after a year)

[Rick Beckman]

It isn't considered a "higher role"; all the roles are equal in terms of
authority, but they are given different things to do.

To compare, think of the American government, which is checked and balanced
by three different branches: judicial, legislative, and executive. These
branches are more or less equal, but they all have different functions.

I think I'm understanding the Roles system properly, anyway.
