Designing a syntax to avoid all possible newbie errors is impractical
because as soon as you are finished with one iteration the new newbies
will start making different kinds of errors...

Take solace in the fact that you've been immediately notifed of the
error while its fix: renaming pass to passwd is trivial ...
