Comment (by ballapete):

 Me, I do not understand what sense it might make to create paths or a
 directory hierarchy beyond the system's limit. What does the test find
 out? That `mkdir` is more powerful than `rm`? (Because `rm` cannot delete
 what `mkdir` created?) That this system's limits are as soft as butter?
 (And might be true for other aspects?)
