Given that you don't even understand that this message is issued by the
*shell* and not /bin/rm, and *why* it issues that sort of error message
when an argument string expands to be bigger than MAX_ARGV, and the fact

size, why should we listen to you when you proclaim that you have any sort
of enlightenment about systems design?
