Please don't put words in my mouth. The fundamental issue is that email
is an inherently insecure mechanism. It allows others to represent
themselves, not as "my spokesperson", but as "me". Somehow, it remains a
fundamental part of the authentication process for all domain related
transactions.
Changing the transaction authorization process ("Yes, I requested that")
does not change the identity assertion and authentication issue (I am
who I say I am and I have the authority to undertake this transaction").
