Exactly. Many users get confused and a quick look at the man page shows them a magic --force command that seems to do what they want. Not to mention that we sometimes encourage the use of --force sometimes when we are doing pull requests since we want them to push a squash of all the different commits. It's like a tragedy of the commons playing out in multiple dev teams the world over and it didn't have to be that way. The problem is no one took the time to devote some UX to the git command line until it was too late.
