it's not like the "Brazil" swat team is going to come through the windows
In the same way, I could drive three miles over reving my first gear and no damage may come of it but this is not the best approach available to me. There is simply a better way to do what you are doing while maintaining good computer use habits. It's too easy to log in as user and do whatever you need to as temporary root not to.
Even with Webmin, I use the root account only long enough to create a user account with just the minimum modules enabled for the system. I could simply use the root login for Webmin and always have the full module list while spraying my login across the network but it's a messy view and poor computing habit to encourage.
