I'm not exactly following what that proves? It seems like this is still
making a not-guaranteed assumption, which is that the outer INSERT isn't
going to choose to rearrange the order of the rows coming from the CTE.
Strictly speaking, even "SELECT * FROM ordered_inserts" isn't promising
anything about row order.
