Why is my DiskUtility no longer finding any permissions which need repair?

Question

In the past 4-6 weeks Disk Utility, both on my iMac and my MacBook always gives me a clean bill of health when I use it to verify/repair permissions.
In the past, I alwyas have had something which had to be repaired.
Bothers me that Disk Utility finds nothing. I install,uninstall lots of software and would expect permissions need tweaks after installing Security patches and such
IS it possible that a recent OS patch (security or other) has affected Disk Utility?
It just does not seem right that suddenly no permission needs repair.
Any one else finding that they , too, now always have clean bill of health with permissions, using Disk Utility?

Answer 1

I think some of the gurus to whom you refer need an education.
We all recommend repairing the hard drive and permissions before installing new software not because it's a requirement but because it's a precaution against poorly maintained systems. Doing so will help prevent problems for users who simply don't know what they are doing or never maintain their computer properly. Even toasters need to be cleaned once in a while, if you get my meaning.
Recently Mac World ran a couple of pieces on the subject that you should find interesting reading:

Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values.
