 I found that unintentionally hilarious. Beyond that, though, you have a
 good enhancement request.

 WordPress currently checks for the options table on startup. See
 is_blog_installed(). If the options table is missing, it checks to see if
 any other tables are missing. If they are *all* missing, it assumes you
 haven't installed WordPres yet. If only some are missing, it assumes
 things are "insane" and issues a repair warning and dies with dead_db().

 We *could* do similar checks throughout the admin. Check posts and
 postmeta on edit.php/post.php, etc. I don't think it is truly necessary,
 but it's a good thought.
