I don&#x27;t think sanity checks are a form of false sense of security. Ideally the way you develop software those types of credentials would never even be in your project but maybe you&#x27;re testing something and they&#x27;re temporarily in there (because we&#x27;ve all done that); a warning could let you know you&#x27;re about to screw up.<p>Naturally anyone can become dependent on anything designed to assist them. I&#x27;m not really passionated about either direction really.
