No, I understand it, but in my experience it is wrong.

I'm not ignoring it, I keep pointing out why it is wrong.

a) This is much more likely after he has been frustrated by having to
track down the command in the first place or waste time fixing silly
defaults, and
b) is really none of your business. If you have the root password, the
system is supposed to do what you tell it. If you don't want someone to
be able to break their system with fdisk, don't give them root access.
If you do give them the root password, or it's their machine in the
first place, then make it easy to do things the right way instead of
frustrating them so they are confused and angry before even starting to
use the correct tools.

No one can blame fedora for what they type into fdisk as root themselves.
