It is amazing how people is able to say anything to win an argument (I
count myself too :-P), when you typed the letter "r" did it executed
immediately without giving you time to read and press enter?, I am
pretty sure the answer is no. Control+alt+bs does not gives anyone
time to fix the mistake, maybe if the X servers were able to check if
you pressed that key combination for 4 seconds (like the power buttons
case already mentioned) I could be against the zap option
deactivation, but that is not the case
