Maybe Charles here was mistaken and was refering to "repairing permissions" which is recommended to be done regularly. Not knowing much about the gooey innards of OS X I'm not certain if this is an Unix thing or an X addition.
Actually it's recommended far more often than it's needed. The only time you would need to do this is if installing one program or an update made other things not run properly.
File permissions don't 'decay' or change themselves spontaneously. They're not something that's constantly changing, like the desktop database in OS 9. They're set, they stay set unless some administrative process changes them. like an install or upgrade.)
Moreover, these problems (and the permissions repair utility itself) was much mire relevant in the 10.1 - 10.2 transition.
