This is the endless struggle of all time. It's like some people have some sort of super-messing-things-up power. If you don't make something LITERALLY impossible to achieve, they will find a way to do it by accident. Always. They will go out of their way to find things to do by complete accident, and they will never have any idea what they're doing! They'll follow guides to change settings they don't understand, trigger functionality they don't understand, grant access they don't understand, no matter how complex you try to make the process, no matter how many warnings you add, and no matter how hard you try to guard against exactly this kind of idiocy.
And this sucks. Because there are people out there who do know what they're doing, who do things on purpose, and who would appreciate to have power that it just so happens that an Idiot should never be given. It is practically not possible to expose that power without being flooded by Idiots who did something Stupid with it.
