Right.

Since when was "a little OT" a problem? It's when things get out of hand
and the signal-to-noise ratio gets messed up, that there's a problem.

I won't bother. "logging in as a normal user and using sudo" wasn't
meant in the "sudo is teh rulz" sense. It was meant to stand more
generally for "don't 'casually' run destructive commands (think rm) and
compile third-party software with more privileges than necessary" --
whether you do that by logging in as another user and use sudo, or
whether you implement this differently, doesn't really matter. What
matters is that you lower your privileges to the minimum required and
which can be practically applied.

If you don't want to keep OT, happy to take this off-list and have an
insightful discussion -- assuming it doesn't boil down to
mis-communication per above. :)
