With CT the attacker has these choices:

 - compromise the target zone and its logs
 - compromise the target zone and be an MITM forever more and hope
that no one notices the logged changes

This is a significant improvement over the current situation, where
the attacker can be an undetected MITM when and as desired once they
compromise the zone.
