I think Zittrain's point is that not enough of intelligence was applied in the initial designing of this particular tool... much like creating a saw without a handle. We're all suffering from shredded hands now, and we need to take corrective action before we start losing fingers...
I know what comes next: "What moron would create a saw without a handle?"
Well, what moron would create a globe-spanning computer network without basic security protocols?
(Maybe they're related.)
