Luckily I don't type "sudo rm -rf /" or similar things in normal conversation very often...

Good thing you didn't post this comment from an Android phone... ;-)
True, you wouldn't type a delete command in normal conversation, but you have to feel sorry for the guys in the bug report who were running ssh sessions on their phones... They were typing UNIX commands and thus were at a much higher risk of harm.
You wouldn't need the "sudo" -- it's a root-level prompt.
(Hmm... typing "make me a sandwich" unfortunately has no visible effects...)
