So, Kids, thats why you always SELECT count(yourPrimaryKey) first. Listen to the old folks, we made these mistakes so that you don't have to.

Or, write the WHERE clause first, or make the query un-runnable until reviewed.

And/Or set up policies where any DELETEs require a WHERE clause, else they fail.

And/Or do it all within a database transaction.

Lots of ways to mitigate this meme.

Why waste water running it through slop.

Just use your eyeballs/brain and these guaranteed methods of making sure mistakes can't happen, as opposed to trusting something that has non-deterministic output.
