There are a very limited number of situations where you would do this. 
For a system that all you're going to be doing is login and configure or 
monitor, such as a firewall or other limitied service server.

In general, there is no reason to 'run as root all of the time,' safely 
or not.  Particularily in a workstation environment.

I think I understand.
