Comment:

 But in
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can#Parameters
 the codex];[[BR]]

 ''...this function accepts capability or role name.''[[BR]]

 The same thing is stated in the
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.2/wp-
 includes/capabilities.php#L1183 wp-includes/capabilities.php][[BR]]

 So what to believe?

 I don't want to check if user is super admin, I want to check if the user
 is contributor. Of course there's other techniques to make this happen but
 I just wanted to report a bug in this function as it fails when it comes
 to super admins.
