Follow-up Comment #1, bug #65895 (group findutils):
find(1) has this at the very start
[...] by evaluating the given expression *from left to right*, according to
the rules of precedence
and later an extra warning about -delete:
*ACTIONS*
_-delete_
Delete files or directories; true if removal succeeded. If the
removal failed, an error message is issued and find's exit status
will be nonzero (when it eventually exits).
*Warning:* Don't forget that find evaluates the command line as an
expression, so putting -delete first will make find try to delete
everything below the starting points you specified.
