How does Step 1: “Run the play as your safe user.” make sense if the play creates the safe user?

If you run the play as the existing user, once you delete it you can no longer run the rest of the playbook. On the other hand, if you try to connect as the new user and then react on the connection error with the user creation you can both create a new user and delete the existing one in a single play.
