But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that since this is so easy, a person that is computer illiterate can now gain root access. You definitely don't post those kinds of things on Twitter.

Computer illiterate people might now have a new way to shoot themselves in the foot, they won’t be able to exploit it because they won’t know what root is or why it does stuff.
