if someone told you to `rm -rf --no-preserve-root`, and you did it without even checking what the command does. is it their fault or yours?

both, and responsibility would depend on who had the greater knowledge of its ill effects

if I went around telling people new to linux to use that command to unlock some hidden feature, I would bear most if not all of that responsibility
