Right, but it's also kind of a special case in that your "future stupid stuff" must include the hiring of the very service that's going to clean up your previous stupid stuff -- so long as the public regards such hiring as stupid.

I guess this is one case where it's especially true that "if you want to do something right, you have to do it yourself" :-p

Yes, this is why this kind of thing probably only really works for individuals. There's too much public interest in a university or a large corporation, and so the act of covering your tracks is itself noteworthy.
