I've seen folks deride the use of alias rm 'rm -i'
because it encourages sloppy thinking, and that one time when you're logged in from somewhere unusual and you don't actually have that alias available POOF you'll zap more than you expect (because there'll actually be no '-i' supplied to the command)... If that is the case, then why not mv /bin/rm /bin/e-rad-i-cate since 'rm' is sooo easy to type, sooo easy to run, sooo easy to zap files unintentionally? a longer name would make such mistakes harder to make. :) -- does a brain cell think?
