You are not necessarily right. It's because of limited knowledge of structure and architecture. Eg. developer giving someone `create table` statement (without table data). In MySQL engine this statement by default contains last auto incremented id. So someone executing that statement and then inserting record could end with id equals to 12345 even though it's very first record.
