My point was even it if was even remotely likely it doesn't really matter, as soon as the data leaves the db, it could be stale in anycase. So inaccuracies should be expected, therefore making the extra queries redundant.
Well, no. There's a major difference between data that's stale and data that's totally wrong. Getting results that have, I dunno, [[Che Guevara]] in [[Category:Terrorists]] despite the fact that someone removed him ten seconds before is rather different from a [[Category:Terrorists]] that contains [[Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States]].
Could be totally wrong in the database that's why its being changed.
