sudo adds logging, but won't help you if you accidentally wreck your system because program you ran wasn't what you wanted.
Does changing sudo to please really make such a substantial difference?

I'm not sure. It bugs me viscerally, but you'd have to do actual research to really know if it leads to more mistakes.

That's fascinating! That really underscores that functionally, it's not the same. Yet it is the exact same command!

It would be so cool to see an error rate study of please vs sudo. Especially if it focused on novice users.
