Not just that, start talking hundreds of millions of births and you get clerical error.

Which could then become rather complicated if there are laws saying the sex assigned at birth has significant lifelong legal consequences.

Clerical errors get corrected. Because they are errors.

Only in theory is it so easy to separate clerical errors from other issues.

So in practice clerical errors cause all kinds of long term havoc. Once declared dead it can be a monstrous effort to prove to various systems you are in fact alive.
