I think if an admin has salient points, especially if they go against the current community consensus, they should be encouraged raise those points in the thread without closing it. Even if a thread seems to an administrator as clear-cut as the moon being made of cheese, saying "This is my opinion and you are all wrong, and also you're not allowed to discuss this anymore" (which is exactly what this policy change allows for) almost invites the possibility of an admin missing something and being wrong, a possibility which - given that the admins are in charge of deciding things here! - should be minimized as much as possible rather than given new ways to manifest.
