Well, no, of course. But why not catch the failure and retry? I guess I just don't get the problem, since I hear people say this all the time. (I mean, I've also seen places where 'upsert' would be cool, but it doesn't seem trivial to do in a general way and you can do this with catch-serialization-error-and-retry, I think?)
