What do you expect to happen when **you** corrupt the database? ``` sqlite> pragma integrity_check; ┌───────────────────┐ │ integrity_check │ ├───────────────────┤ │ NULL value in t.v │ └───────────────────┘ ``` The closest analogy is that **you** put an advertizement in the newspaper to sell your green car. However, before the advertizement was printed, **you** painted the car blue. However, the advertisement, when it appeared, was still tying to sell a green car. **You** are not entitled to claim that the advertizement is now incorrect. If **you** deliberately and with aforethought decide to make the database *inconsistent* and *incoherent*, and cannot be bothered to ensure the integrity of the database following you *coniptions*, they why would you place the blame for **your** failure on anyone else? This reminds me of the old "Doctor, Doctor, in hurts when I do this" the patient complains as he pokes himself in the eye. "Well do not do that then" replies the Doctor. I believe the appropriate observation is that you been **"hoisted by your own petard"**.
