I'm not sure I follow the reasoning. Are you saying that, to logically
replay a simple DELETE, the subscription owner should have SELECT
privileges on the destination table?

Is there a way that a subscription owner could somehow exploit a DELETE
privilege to see the contents of a table on which they have no SELECT
privileges? Or is it purely an internal read, which is necessary for
any ordinary local DELETE/UPDATE anyway?
