--deep is no more broken than rm. Both are tools that do exactly what you |
| 6 |
tells them to do. If that is not what you wanted them to do, the fault |
| 7 |
lies with the user, not the tool. There is no good and bad about using |
| 8 |
--deep, only about using it inappropriately. Telling people never to use |
| 9 |
--deep is as misleading as telling them always to use it. The only |
| 10 |
correct advice is to help people decide for themselves when to use it and |
| 11 |
when not. |
