There are other directories where it can happen, and root is not the only one of them.
There are also directories that you cannot read sometimes, like /var/lib/docker/volumes if you use docker
Sure, but in this case the bash prompt tells us that it’s located in the root directory.
Oh, silly me :3
Technically he is also wrong about what touch does. The purpose of touch is to update the timestamp of a file and only if the file doesn't exist, the file gets created.
