Hi GNU guys!

I am newbie in Linux world. I know that the Linux philosophy is that executing a command just as it is designated without any verbose information. I also know that the root user has too strong powers to change every detail of the system. However, when it is connected with the most essential system files, we should give a warning. What about when "sudo rm -rf /bin", it gives a conformation or asks the user to input something, and when "sudo -rff /bin", it will do the command with saying anything?

I am looking forward to your reply!

Regards
