There is an advantage to this approach though: fewer errors. You're plucking a known working command from a list instead of manually typing a (possibly) broken version of it. Worse yet is when it's a command where typematic mistakes cause unintended side effects like data loss. So, mashing up 100 times can be pretty smart, especially if you're not a great typist.

@dejected_warp_core That is true if you assume your history contains only working commands...

Oh no, I have to press up 200+ times if we're counting all the detritus and failure in my command history.
