Not surprising really. It is a simple adjustment to make and it also is
easy to spot when its a problem. However it is not trivial to test for
(in terms of time and effort). I know 10 is wrong and so do you. If you
don't I am curious why I see so many posts from you saying, "Your
estimates are off, what is your default_statistics_target?" with yet
even more responses saying, "Uhh 10."
