:It puzzled me too. I think, it's more of correct way to request for
:the password rather than give the failure because of error permission.

If I am not root, the last thing I ever want to have happen is for a
program to make me root, or run something as root.
I for one do not put a password on my root account, since it cannot be
logged in from remotely and since I am the only one in the wheel group,
so when I type 'su' or 'su -' from my main account, I become root.
