The safety and trust that comes out of a very reliable database setup is, apparently, a misplaced feeling that makes data bugs harder to fix. I really don’t understand their take.

My experience is the opposite: add as many checks and safety rails to <DB> (Postgres, in my case), and you don’t have to go looking for this sort of mistake, which shouldn’t happen in the first place.
