> Incidentally, the mother in the xkcd comic says, “I hope you’ve learned to sanitize your database inputs.” Which is somewhat confusing, but I’ll give Randall the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant “escape your database parameters”.

What a strangely roundabout way of saying that programming advice found in a webcomic may be actually wrong.

(To be fair, that Xkcd comic was a product of its time, when ‘sanitisation’ was all the rage.)
