I think the point is that hitherto, if you kill a system with "rm -rf /", you can still do a re-installation from scratch. If I understand correctly what people are saying, killing the UEFI stuff stops you ever being able to do a re-install on that box. Is that correct? Is there no way to do a factory reset of the BIOS?
