Unix aficionados accept occasional file deletion as normal. For example, consider following excerpt from the comp.unix.questions FAQ:
6) How do I "undelete" a file?
Someday, you are going to accidentally type something like:
% rm * .foo
and find you just deleted "*" instead of "*.foo". Consider it a rite of passage. Of course, any decent systems administrator should be doing regular backups. Check with your sysadmin to see if a recent backup copy of your file is available.
"A rite of passage"? In no other industry could a manufacturer take such a cavalier attitude toward a faulty product. "But your honor, the exploding gas tank was just a rite of passage."
