I must take exception to this statement...

Step 1.
Use your browser's "Save As..." menu to save the HTML FORM page to
your hard drive.

Step 2.
Change any damn thing you want in the INPUT values, add some extra
INPUT, take some away.

Step 3.
Open your hacked HTML page with your browser's "Open..." menu.

Step 4.
"Submit" the hacked FORM.

In 4 trivial steps, which require no special browser plugins, no
super-tricky knowledge, a casual visitor can break a [much too] large
percentage of websites "out there" if they so desire.
