Ron,
My projects don't all use SQL so I'm far from a clever scripter. :-)
No one is born a scripter, much less a clever scripter.

Doesn't alter table primarily apply to existing row values for specific
columns rather than inserting new rows and their column values?
I don't think so. For example, pg_dump has an option to add those DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER statements. It makes bulk loading of records much simpler.
