Oh, come now.  

If you log in as root to do routine tasks, you are playing with a
loaded gun.  Presumably we should remove the 'rm' command because
someone might inadvertantly delete /sdmach, that big file that takes
up all that space?

Let's not build a system that's so "safe" you can't get your work
done.  If you lock up all of the power tools, who's going to use them?
