Of course they are not. No one in their right mind will execute an amigaguide.
You need to understand that some systems, despite all warnings, are created in non amiga friendly enviroments where they are literally stripped of all protection bits. It has happened to many users, just too many times to ignore it.
Restoring them by hand, one by one is a tedious process that no one will ever do. The only way to ensure that the machine will boot again under those circumstances is by doing what that ugly line does.
It is not nice I agree, but it gets the job done.
