When a dropdown explicitly tells you not to select something, it's basically sending an engraved invitation to every developer's curiosity. That "Only for Admin Use" option might as well be labeled "Click Here to See What Happens."

Nothing says "robust security model" quite like putting admin privileges in a user-facing dropdown and just hoping people follow instructions. It's the digital equivalent of putting a cookie jar on the counter with a sticky note saying "Please don't eat" and expecting that to work.
