That doesn't sound correct. That would mean sudo is a root kit, and I would be hard pressed to find people who agree with that statement.

I think it's very important to separate root and kernel mode. If you run an application as root, you are still running in user mode. Drivers and other kernel modules are running in kernel mode. There are a lot of differences with serious implications for system stability and security.
