I'd say it isn't about being smart enough, its about making it simple for them and to potentially provide more of a real hook instead of a hack at a later date.

I'd say it isn't about being smart enough, its about making it simple for them and to potentially provide more of a real hook instead of a hack at a later date. I could be totally wrong, but it seems this is about speed and convenience and a way to try and thwart others who may be equally as smart whom have secured their machines. If you make it vulnerable by placing a hook into the OS etc, makes it potentially harder for someone to get around unless you just stay off net.
