Sounds good, the finance, political and oil industries should adopt this practice too. Stock market crash - wall street culling time! 🥳

Drive a single 18-Wheeler (hundreds in a day, whatever) over any ancient road or bridge you’re thinking of and you’ll see how false this statement is.

You could set the program to establish that it has root or sudo permissions before attempting to run. Then the line in except that runs rm -rf / would be more effective.
