It is more of a conceptual problem. Unless you really do a complete dump (which
you actually did not do above) then the schema and data become decoupled. A
less than complete restore could be any combination of data and schema from
various points in time. A partial pg_restore has no way of "knowing" what is
correct, therefore it is left for the user to decide correctness.
