> Rule by administrators (or bureaucrats) is just as opaque/unaccountable/corrupt

I don't agree. The division of power is most likely preferable. Otherwise the politician also become the beurocrat but way more arbitrary.

When the administrators/bureaucrats (whatever your preferred terms are) have very limited and defined powers, I agree they are different. When the administrative powers become wide-sweeping and ill-defined, the powers are difficult to differentiate from those of the politicians.
