In addition to Geoff's answer:
If you are an administrator trying to unlock a resource obtained by
someone else, you have to be able to figure out which resource to
unlock. You can't unlock an internal member of a collection that's
locked by a depth-inifinity lock without knowing which collection was
actually locked. Then you can decide whether unlocking that is the
right thing to do.
