Your justification for that insulting position about people you don't
even know is not that your preferred distribution gives you unfettered
access to system files and Ubuntu doesn't, and not even that you think
Ubuntu SHOULD give you unfettered access to system files, but rather
only that you cannot remember that the "-s" flag gives you a shell.

"I can't remember -s" == "Ubuntu devs consider users to be morons".

Gotcha.  Irony much?
