I am not really convinced from your description that this would make
it much better. Let's face it we all make these kinds of mistakes and
you could just as easily still make it if we changed the default.
The real problem that needs to be fixed is this one:

If someone could make that problem go away, then it wouldn't really
matter if you made this mistake because you could undo it.
