Klarna users are being signed in to random accounts

As a software engineer, I hate when I add a check for something "that will never happen" but that if happens is awful, and people complain.

A classic example: you need to get a user from a session, check against a database, and continue if they're signed in.

Then I add a simple if databaseUser.Username != form.Username and people will say "if that happens we've something worse wrong". Geez, something might be wrong and such double checking might provide to be useful.

On a smaller scale, bits flip due to cosmic rays and so on. Of course, there must be a limit where we stop, but people are used to actively avoid doing such "silly assertions" even for important steps.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's fine to make the check but I hope you don't sweep it under the rug with an early out without at least logging the occurrence
