Are you arguing that there should be no way for any user's

Rather, as admin. That aside, *exactly*.
Yes, but sudo mv and sudo cp work exactly the way we want them to,
and our apps should too.
Sudo by default cannot be used from a non-admin user account at all.
Which is The Right Thing.
The problem is that users are becoming more and more accustomed to
typing in their admin password at the drop of a hat.
Agreed.
Personally I would be happier if there were support in the
operating system for a dialog that couldn't be mimicked
How on earth would you do that?
Administrators are users too, you know! Not all of us log in as
root ;)
No, they are *NOT*! To use an admin account for a normal work is a
security flaw like hell.
If an admin does a plain work on a Mac, he should make a non-admin
account for that, and use it. *NEVER EVER* you should log in as admin
unless what you want to do is administration.
