Adequate evidence have proved the point that it is nothing but a mispronunciation. Now editor should remove the note of "archaic pronunciation" which would mislead many more people.

BTW, I found the dictionary which anon used to state that there were an "ad-MY-ral"....A Complete Dictionary of the English Languageby Thomas Sheridan, two online version published in 1790 and 1797. I read the pronunciation guide of it and still have no idea what "y" exactly means in this dictionary, but clearly it ia not pronounced as [aɪ]  because this dictionary used "ī" for that (check the word "admire" for example)

I think that are not much to argue about now.
