I would normally agree with you if we were talking only about deleting individual pages. However, when deleting quite a number of pages, that checkbox can become quite an annoyance.
Maybe someone (I?) should write a feature whereby sysops can specify a list of article titles and mass-delete them with one single "safety valve". Then there should be one button for sysops to undo such a mass-deletion quickly in order to have a safeguard against sysops acting in bad faith.
