A Terraform plan is the most important thing you read all week and the least readable. Several hundred lines of diff, in which the three that matter — the resource being replaced rather than updated, the one whose deletion takes data with it — look exactly like the ones that do not.

The failure is human and predictable. Plans are skimmed because they are long, and the destructive change is not visually distinguished from an added tag.

This summarises a plan into what is actually being created, updated, replaced and destroyed, so the count of destructive operations is a number you read rather than something you might have scrolled past.
