I seem to recall a few people being helped into executing sudo rm -rf / by random people on the internet so I’m not sure it “didn’t happen.” :)

But it did not happen, when you used a book and never executed any command you did not understand.

(But my own newbdays of linux troubleshooting? Copy paste any command on the internet loosely related to my problem, which I believe was/is the common way of how common people still do it. And AI in "Turbo mode" seems to mostly automated that workflow)

And that day they learned a valuable lesson about running commands that you don't understand.
