Unless you invoke sudo within the timeout period, then it doesn't ask
for anything.
I think you missed the main point here. It is useful to know what
sudo is asking for when it does ask.
Incidentally, if you want to make sudo somewhat more annoying, you can
configure the timeout period to be zero, so it always asks.
