Lol, that's what happens with cross-conversations in chats.  The 
informations gets "crossed" from one topic to another: from «dangerous 
commands» to «system rescue».

I remember there was a talk about dangerous commands at the same time...

Well, I am glad I checked on this one.  From doing a few magical things (my 
perception) with a few letters in Linux cli, I learned never to lauch 
a "spell" without knowing what it's about beforehand.

Maybe this one deserves a place in our honorary "10 most dangerous 
commands", if it's not already there.

Long live man pages and info pages (and mailing lists),

Thank you.

Jisao.
