Okay, point taken :-)
Let's say use sudo as carefully as possible.

and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You, Lord,
my rock and my Redeemer.

But there's no such thing as using sudo safely. You cuold be the most 
responsible system administrator on the face of the entire earth, but you're 
still trusting that the configure and make files, just to name a few, are safe. 
A lot of people have a lot of trouble writing and/or maintaining those files, 
since they really are kind of ugly, so why would you dare trust any of them?
