Hmm.. i admit, i should've read the comments in the file i was editing.

But just a suggestion; you could have sudo keep a backup copy of the last known 
good for /etc/sudoers.
If it detects a corrupt /etc/sudoers, it tells you it's using the backup (and 
it's location).

That way, i as an app coder can focus on app coding instead of having to read 
the entire comments for every OS config file i need to edit, hoping to spot 
that comment that is going to save me from creating fatal errors by beginner 
mistake.
Serverconfig-ing is not my hobby, and it negatively affects my net income.

The way it is now is very user-unfriendly.
