It's easy to do.  Get your wildcarding wrong, and it's not just the
files in the current directory that you end up working on.  

It nearly always takes me a few moments of thought to work out how I
want do something to the dot-prefixed files in a directory, and I test
with "ls" before using other more dangerous commands.

That's one area where I really like using GUI tools.  No user goofs from
making bad wildcard choices, simply click on the files and directories
that you want to do something to.
