Not presumably knowing the impact of a decision one is forced to take, does not imply that person is stupid. This logic fails to me.

Users/People should have options! They should be able to do things that harms themselves.

But this is not about a site only. This mostly about the web as a whole, primarily, and for the reputation of WordPress, second. Hacked sites is the worst that van happen to users, AND others sites affected, in a cascade to hurts the www overall.

"Childish" not to have such option in core, "grown up" to obey your demands of such? I'm sorry, but I don't get it. As said, I think it's harmful, nothing else.
