       ^^^^^^^ Typo supported by Faxe beer, it should be "path" and not
"command".

 

Sometimes, yeah, I type the complete path if my memory is telling me there may be an identically named binary in an earlier path in the $PATH .

Somedays, when I am feeling particularly paranoid, I type the full path name on all commands. (Not very often, however.) Or if the globbing gap between sudo and the command line is causing me command lookup pain, but I would assume that most people never feel that pain.

Be careful where you see conspiracy.
Look first in your own heart.
