why doesn't WriteProcessMemory change the memory permissions for us

According to the oldnewthing blog WriteProcessMemory should automatically change the memory permissions so we can write to it without us having to manually change them.

This fails when we test it so we have to wrap write memory ourselves ... why??

Possible explanation is that the permissions are only changed if the page doesn't have WRITE access already ... this could lead to situations where the page has write but is unwritable for other reasons so the call will still fail unless the permissions are adjusted manually.
