The explanation is most likely incorrect though. A more obvious cause of this error is that the current working is the root directory (
/) and that they’re logged in as a non-root user, thus trying to create the file/womanwithout sufficient permissions.POV

Technically he is also wrong about what touch does. The purpose of touch is to update the timestamp of a file and only if the file doesn't exist, the file gets created.
There are other directories where it can happen, and root is not the only one of them.
There are also directories that you cannot read sometimes, like /var/lib/docker/volumes if you use docker
Sure, but in this case the bash prompt tells us that it’s located in the root directory.
Oh, silly me :3
