I didn't read the hobgoblin the same way as the author being purely critical. I read it as a defense: a similarity between commands would make it easier to choose the wrong one. Removing a branch is a more destructive than deleting a file, so it should be a command chosen with conscious care rather than muscle memory.

That's the absolute opposite conclusion from what the author intended.
Are you the author? Or, if not, did the author specify their intended conclusions in additional material somewhere?
