A deep well of curmudgeonly geekiness is welling up within me, about
to burst forth with an overwhelming NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
We who used MS-DOS in 1985 were not appreciably smarter than people
are now, yet we figured out DIR & COPY & DEL & CD. A HELP command
and a set of DOS-friendly aliases (and/or scripts) would/should be
adequate.

For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that

However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
