   I’m having difficulty appreciating the point of this article   
   . It gives a   
   long list of horrible things that you must never, ever do. You know,   
   “Look at this big red button: do not ever press this button!”   
      
   And it gives this exhortation:   
      
       Just don't run commands as root. If you need to use a command that   
       requires admin privileges, always use sudo, so you have a better   
       chance of avoiding catastrophe.   
      
   Yeah, but sudo *is* for running things as root! You think running them   
   via sudo is any better than however else you were thinking of doing   
   those things as root?
