 I've sen this infamous error msg more times than I wanted, in my own site
 where I'm admin.

 That happens with more frequency when adding a new comment, but some times
 also inside admin pages.

 I understand it's generally capability and permission tests that fail, and
 that happens in pages that ppl without permission to access them shouldn't
 see links to them, therefore they probably tried direct access to
 somewhere they shouldn't be going.

 But also it happens when session expires or due to some bug. In this
 cases, the user is effectively not doing anything wrong, it may even be WP
 fault, and when that's the case the message is rude, even offensive to
 more emotional ppl.

 Even worse, it gives no hint on what went wrong, so that user can try to
 fix it.

 Then I suggest these messages to be changed, to more meaningful and also
 polite messages. Real cheaters and hackers will already have any info a
 message may provide, so a better explanation of what went wrong won't help
 them succeed in their attempt to hack a site, and will help a lot the
 victims of these errors.
