System admins tends to be control freak. This is not an accusation made by people don't know how to do the job.
I was managing computer networks 10 years ago, and understand every bit of the work.
I have to say this, system admin is a labor intensive job rather than a tech intensive job. But the environment has changed a lot. The environment is getting better and better, not worse.
When I was managing the network ten years ago, I deal only professionals understand computer well. Now, they have to deal with many people not familiar with computers.
So, these days, system admins assume they know everything, and others know nothing. This causes the "control freak" symptom.
Frankly, the job load of system admin has been reduced greatly compared to ten years ago. I don't know why these guys are whining about.
Unlike any other theories, software engineering theories are just unprovable principles.
Among all the different languages, methodologies, people are choosing.
More interoperability between languages, better revision control system, better distribution system, better bug reporting system, more specific coding guidelines...
Slowly, things are getting better and better, when people started to know what exactly they want (not just some hollow words).

64bit CPU is a lot slower than 32bit CPU with the same technology anyway.
Non of three motherboards supports more than (max) 3G memory, what is the purpose of using 64bit cpu?
