About "rm -rf", the article says:

        The code usually deleted specific parts of a server or
        computer, but because this code didn't have a specified
        target, it deleted everything.

This isn't true of the rm(1) command.  No operand means delete nothing.

The story does not ring true for other reasons.  But it could be.
