It's not my style, but a previous team would always add a where-clause starting with

  WHERE 1=1

Because then any and all query predicates would be nicely aligned on the following lines, like this:

  WHERE 1=1
      AND t1.col1 = 1
      AND t2.col2 = 1

(Why they couldn't just lower the indent to read

  WHERE t1.col1 = 1
    AND t2.col2 = 1

Is beyond me)

Point being, don't assume that humans will never write an always-true predicate.
