I am not sure that this amounts to leaving it open - more like you have
a standard issue lock with its key number clearly printed on the front,
and the burgler turned up with a dozen of the most common keys already
in his pocket so he could look though them to see if he had that one....
The sytsem was clearly locked, that the password could be easily
discovered didn't alter the fact you still had to take deliberate steps
to discover it. Its not like telnet to the system gave you "hit any key
to start".
