When one, such as myself is taking medication known to cause confusion it may be a good idea not to use the dd command. Say if someone has an iso image, a 4GB USB stick and a 1TB external drive which contains all ones valuable data. Despite checking twice and making sure one selected the correct device node as the output.
Just in theory one might be wrong and have nuked ones carefully collected data over many many years.
Medication and dd.. they don't mix children.
