Windows at least has the decency to warn you that you're about ready to trash something. Every -nix ever will let me blow /sbin/init away with a carelessly placed file operation without so much as a "hey".
Uneducated users should be responded to with "WTF were you doing?" as computer is a precision machine and it is not unreasonable to expect some basic level of literacy.

If I've elevated myself to be a global administrative user, then I should be able to do global administrative things, without being treated as an 'uneducated user'. > it is not unreasonable to expect some basic level of literacy I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect some level of literacy for administrative-level tasks, and that's what nix does.
