:::As the letter of the policy goes now, an admin can block someone as a joke or by "accident" just to prevent them from having a successful RfA. That seems pretty unacceptable.

::::Actually, if the admin says that it was by accident, that's covered by "wrong button click". As the letter of the policy goes now, an admin could block someone supposedly as a joke just to prevent them from having a successful RfA, except that, as with all policies, a degree of common sense should be applied. As Miles said, the spirit of the policy is more important than the letter.
