But it did not happen, when you used a book and never executed any command you did not understand.

(But my own newbdays of linux troubleshooting? Copy paste any command on the internet loosely related to my problem, which I believe was/is the common way of how common people still do it. And AI in "Turbo mode" seems to mostly automated that workflow)

That is not at all the same thing.

And that day they learned a valuable lesson about running commands that you don't understand.
