Thumbs up loopholes in unix security system

I read it in one article that having the same bit system for permissions of a file and for permissions of a directory is not good for the security of a Unix based system.
I do not agree with this fact. Anybody, would like to comment on it ?

Anyone can say anything. Did they actually give any substance to their claim?

Original post is ambiguous.
Can you give a real-world example or cite the source?
