You seem to be confused.

Because a dangerous threat exists does not give a researcher license to endanger the public to prove it. This is especially the case when a safer alternative to demonstrate this exploit easily exists.

Robbers could enter your home and hold your family at gunpoint AT ANY TIME. That does not give me the right to prove to you how easy it is by entering your home and scaring the crap out of your family.

1) This is a dangerous exploit

2) This was a dumb way to demonstrate it

Those are not mutually exclusive.
