Anyone can screw-up by scribbling unsave code, which trashes data, 
can't they. ;-)

He shoud have included to run the hooks the hooks which
check before killing a buffer. 
Which is mentioned in the fine manual about 'kill-buffer'.

The scratch-buffer isn't protected like a 'normal' buffer anyway.

A well, the guy merely dislikes the name *scratch* and has a untitled
fetisch so why bother any further.
