Such a weak take. I guess we are also tools for using Ethereum after The DAO.

An error like this in the contract stack should have been caught by the auditor, Certik. It's not a fundamental flaw in PolyNet's system, just a very unfortunate oversight.

It does show why you shouldn't use "Smart Contracts". Unlike legal contracts they do not have phrases like "REASONABLE INTENT" and "FOR INTENDED PURPOSE" meaning that any loophole can be abused.
