Its the same sort of reason why "kids are good at computers" is a thing. Turns out if you don't know to be afraid you can just start doing things and seeing what happens. It's a sort of mental block I encountered a lot when I used to tutor people with computers and electronics. As people get older they start to assign infinate value to things they have stored away while being too afraid to actually go and check what is there, so they become afraid to change anything Ultimately it comes down to an attittude of "so what?" - So long as our important memories are backed up/somwhere else, and we're using github properly, there isnt likely to be anything hugely important we can destroy. And i've not seen anyone fully wipe a system yet anyways, its ususally something more like deleting the system installation of python, or messing up something internal in apt. Those can be fixed and turn into valuable learning themselves
