LulzSec is nothing more than a bunch of dumb teenagers using entry-level penetration testing tools.

That's simply not true. From what I understand it's basically a free-for-all, so there's bound to be a lot of dumb teenagers, but also smarter (and sometimes older) hacktivists. They all use the name "anonymous" (or lulzsec) so you'd never know. It's a pretty interesting strategy as it allows them to hide in the crowd.

Then again, a lot of "professional" penetration testers also simply fire up their exploit scanner and then charge you big $$$ per hour. So I don't see the problem in letting a hacker group doing it for free

Lulz Security® is not part of anonymous, just like wikileaks is not part of anonymous. they are all separate entities, although they may have similar goals and ways of working. and anyone who thinks they are simply just some script kiddies, you would have to be wrong in a lot of cases, sure a lot of script kiddy anons exist, but a lot of them are also very good, like the sony hack(s).
