I'd claim that I'm technically correct - you _cannot_ mindlessly copy-paste `$-prefixed` code into a terminal and have it execute, because the `$` will result in a syntax error - but you are, indeed, correct to say that it is possible the _then_ mindlessly delete the `$` without thinking about the rest of the content. But it's another prompt, at least!
if you want to be that technical, than start with the fact that you can easily mindlessly copy&paste, it just won't execute, which is technically a separate thing
(another prompt is just an annoyance for no benefit)
