UAC flaw “by design” says Microsoft

Just because it’s by design doesn’t mean to say it’s right. This is exactly the blinkered thinking that we heard from the people working on UAC in the Vista timeframe – “This is the way it’s going to be, we know better than you.”
Since that attitude was provably incorrect last time, what makes it any more right this time?
