While that is true, superuserdom consistently does not play any role in the 
information schema for the purpose of figuring out what is accessible to a 
certain user.  This may be considered a bug, but it would also create 
inconsistencies because the state "accessible to" is defined by other 
information schema tables where superuserdom cannot be represented.
