I had to read your reply twice before I understood your key argument.
I also don't think that calling it a "short-sighted temporary hack" is justified or polite.
Perhaps you'll find the original H.L.Mencken complete quote polite enough:
Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem neat, plausible, and wrong.
In other words, what I see here is another shtylman/Bitfloor or davout&Boussac/Instawallet situation brewing: substandard and/or questionable implementation; then a "hack" and loss of customer's funds. Or maybe just another "accidental double payment" like the ones that happened to GLBSE and ASICMINER.
I tried, but my work here is done. Now the
emptor will have to
caveat.
Edit: I'll save the btc4ever's signature block for the future reference.
