My comment wasn't either for or against changing the shells to
false/true. I was merly pointing out that su can be used to run commands
as a user that has no valid shell.

His entire line of reasoning was that he would need sudo or suid of the
shell isn't valid.

If the shells are changed, there are some really big consequences, but
the argument he pointed out was plainly wrong.
