Even 15 seconds of thinking is enough to understand that logging

I don't buy this, given that root's login name is well known :)

if someone can intercept the passwords you type, then he/she will intercept both user password you log in and then su password you type.

He/she actually can gain more if you use su, as you may use the same user password somewhere else.
