We found out early on that it was possible to flip the switch from outside, so Sandy made the walls thicker. The advanced techniques of strafe-running, et al, did not come about for almost a year after DOOM's release so there was no way we could anticipate someone getting into the secret area any other way. Much like the way we never anticipated Quake's rocket-jumping."
