I can imagine a scenario where the junior DBA accidentally deletes
all rows from some obscure table that wouldn't have logical
implications for later transactions. But I suspect most people would
perform recovery in a separate instance, and just hand-dump/restore
the table in question. The point at which the above process becomes
too complex (or less than obvious) for hand-recovery is precisely
when unforeseen consequences of nixing a single transaction become
too great.
