Today I learned that the third line in the sudo warning was only added in 2004. Is there perhaps a clear event of history facts or cultural changes between 1993 and 2004 that made the software developers add that line ?

For instance a (silly?) made up example : Monty Python became very popular on TV in some countries where the software developers lived and improved critical thinking for some.
