I wonder if you would've given the same response 40 years ago when
someone invented "chmod <perms> *"

"If you don't know what files and other objects need to be secured,
how can you have any idea that you're handling the securing of your
file system properly???"

What if I DO know what tables I have, and I DO want them to all have
the same perms?
