 It's not "OKAY," it means you didn't clear your tables correctly. TRUNCATE
 resets the auto_increment values.

 > While I know that TRUNCATE should have been the "blessed" way to reset
 my blog, the error pointed above is due to a lack of robustness.  I posit
 that inserting a row with ID 1, and subsequently inserting rows that
 should have had ID 1, with another ID, is a bug, not a user error.

 User error. It's not the "blessed" way, it's the COMPLETE way.

 > Instead of quickly closing the bug, you could at least have taken a look
 at the code, could you?

 There's no code with in WP for user errors.
