The comment even includes the infamous Unix rm -rf command, implying this is the digital equivalent of taking a flamethrower to your records. Instead of properly identifying which record is legitimate or merging data, this nuclear option would just obliterate everyone's records if there happened to be a duplicate SSN. Congratulations, you've fixed identity fraud by erasing everyone's identity! Task failed successfully!
