Blue asked what the difference was.

A member of the tech group can edit a page that has been given a "moderator-only" lock?

Yes

That seems as if someone with tech access is using said access to give himself privileges that others do not have.

Um, what? I'm not giving myself any privileges. Techs have the ability to edit moderator-only pages, but they don't have the authority. E.g. I can edit RW:ATIM, but if I tried to participate in a moderator-only discussion, my comments would be moved to the talk page.

Also, techs have full access to user rights, so they can make themselves mods. Removing their ability to edit mod-protected pages would therefore be just an inconvenience.
