because npm allowed to override a package before. so same version but 
different code.  this is fixed now, but not complete. you still can 
unpublish a version, which might be a problem, or not.

thats the point of shrinkwrap, yes. but it works only, if a published 
package@version is immutable and stay there forever. the point here is to 
have stable deployments. it is not stable yet, since a dependencie can 
disappear. in this case, you have to install a new dependancy manually.
