It comes up as an item in our internal corporate audits all the time. The fact that parent and child can have independent access is a surprising one in most mental models and a problem that just doesn't exist in the simpler unix model.

The ability to create permissions for things that don't even exist yet is another surprising thing that catches administrators up. It does not help that the windows GUI tooling is exceptionally inferior compared to the command line tooling.

This is on production servers in sensitive environments. That linux home users chmod 777 is one thing, but I don't see the same types of problems in professional linux environments; granted, you don't see as many comparable linux environments at all. Likewise, explorer makes it easy to just "give permissions to Everyone" and I've seen that just as much in home installations. In any case, these are probably not great comparisons.
