I know the above is *old* (a week is, what, 15 computer years? ;-), but I
didn't see a comment on it in the thread except for the home directory once
in /usr/... one.
Possible, but that "once" was long ago (I saw no trace of it in 1992 when I
started "Unixing").
usr, at least now, can be thought of as "Unix system resources" and the
only thing it has to do with users is that it is really easy to type /user
instead of /usr.
It must be easy to create that typo, I do it several times a week. ;-(
