Umm... where do you suppose the "wishy washy notion that it is OK to wheel 
war when the other administrator is 'wrong'" COMES from?

There was an arbitration case on wheel warring not so long ago where the 
set of administrators who were adjudged 'wrong' were reprimanded or 
de-sysoped while the set of administrators who were adjudged 'right' were 
not... regardless of the degree to which each individual had engaged in 
'wheel warring'. One admin was even PRAISED for 'wheel warring'.

If you really want to make the case that wheel-warring is ALWAYS wrong 
then it needs to be treated that way. Not as a cudgel for use only against 
'those with whom we disagree'.
