Sorry, but this isn't the answer I hoped for. When someone comes into my house, because I left the front-door wide-open, in know the cause (front-door wide open), the weak spot (it was open) and the results (credit cards etc. gone). In this case anyone knows exactly that the week spot is my door being open. It isn't obvious to me that my being logged in as root is a week spot.
Think of this command-- rm -rf ./ -- now suppose you are logged in as yourself, only you have root privileges, and execute this command. Now, suppose you've been at the keyboard for hours, are a bit frazzled, and you're not in the directory you've assumed you're in, after all everyone makes mistakes....
