From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mean Linus did sth wrong when he wrote that yes do as I say without reading the error message.
On the other hand the Bug he was experiencing should not come to a stable Release build.
Anybody could have make that mistake. Or worse wonder for hours why it didn't work and suddenly it works. Especially if you are new to Linux and don't know what instead of the error message should pop up.
