They clearly didn't have time to do the job properly before release, and they underestimated how quickly it would take for people to reach their endgame content, so now they're scrambling to fix it. D2C wasn't in such great shape at release either, so it's to be expected.
The only way to do it properly would be to release the game to thousands of hardcore players and have them test it out and try to find out all iterations of skills, bugs, and exploits. But those very gamers are the ones Blizzard wants to sell the game to and even they probably wouldn't find everything that millions of players around the world would find. Despite the problems that have been discovered, I'm surprised about how few issues with exploits the game has had compared to D2 or especially LoD on their releases.
There aren't any issues with Inferno that won't be solved with better gear. My theory is still that Blizzard is holding back on sets of gear until they're comfortable that most of the farming (and now duping?) exploits have been found and patched. Then, they'll allow the gear they held back to be released and the RMAH to go online.
