Nice try.  But that analogy falls apart so fast that I wonder if you read
the part about responsibilities coming with the privilege?  If anyone
(or several people) were to be granted the privilege, the idea as stated
so far would be that it's temporary and they'd still have to report to the
list what they do with the privilege.  Hardly sounds like an emperor!

How about a more serious comment...  It was a serious suggestion.
