I don't understand why this is annoying. I guess my way of looking at it is,

What do you  mean punish them?  I never thought that RPG's were the GM vs. 
the players.  As a GM i simply don't care what the players do.  I'm never 
concerned if they are "too powerful" or want to do something i never thought 
of.  I rather like players that are creative and find innovative ways to do 
things.  For me whether a play can or can't do something lies purely along 
the lines of does it fit within the modeling construct that we are using.  
Sometimes as a GM these things are less convenient than others; but that is 
fine with me.  I also do not put barriers in front of them just to impede 
them from doing things.  If they want to raid a keep, the keep will have the 
defenses I saw fit to put to defend/secure it....not from the players; but 
rather what the guard is there to do in general unless the guard is award of 
the raid and has taken special precautions.  If the PC's are clever enough 
to completely circumvent all that, I congratulate them, not scorn them or 
punish them.

Please keep in mind I am only talking of my personal approach and philosophy 
about this. Since I am saying these things questioning your comments I want 
you to know that I'm only saying this to share and discuss my views and my 
intention is not to attack your approach, every group is different.
