This was my point.  However, for a document writer, doubt, stupidity, not enough
coffee in the readers' belly and thus not enough caffeine in the brain should
always be assumed.  Thus, it should always clearly be stated in the document
when a command example needs to be executed as root or with sudo privileges,
regardless of what characters are present or not in the example prompt.  This is
technical writing 101:  always be explicit, verbose, when dealing with example
commands readers will be executing on their machines.
