This is the same logic as "sudo forces people to think about what they're typing", which it doesn't, it just makes you type sudo and your password really quickly and equally mindlessly.
sudo sticks what you're doing in your auth.log file which is fired off to your syslog server, so you've got a chance of knowing how you messed up, or who else messed up
we solved that at amazon by patching bash and tcsh to send logs to syslog (honeypot patches).
It does once you get past using sudo as second attempt at running a command that failed for a reason you don't understand.
No it really doesn't, you just get quick at typing "sudo shutdown -r now" and typing your password quick and when do that it on prod it is just as mindless as "shutdown -r now". You can't make people think via extra steps.
Surely that's just your view on it? I've been using Linux since I was a kid and it's definitely not how I or the people I know use sudo. Lol
