> there’s no irreparable harm, no data loss.

There's a repo-user join table that is gone. That's literal data loss. If I delete your contacts, is that data loss? I mean, you still have your phone and all your ex-contacts still have phone numbers.



I've never considered data I deleted to be lost.

"Do you want to delete this?"

"Yes"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

....

"OMG it's all gone!?!?"
