Bullshit.

All a new unix user needs to do is type an rm -r and have a <space> 
typo between the '/' (folder symbol) and the name of the folder, and 
what do you think happens?

Wanna try it?

For anyone who is interested, I'll tell you what happens: Your drive 
gets deleted on the fucking spot. I'm no fan of FUD (Fear Uncertainty 
& Doubt), but why tell someone that Unix commands can't really 
backfire when someone isn't well-versed, or at least a fucking 
precise typist.

Gimme a break.
