If `suspectEmptyDB` looks vague to you, that's enough reason to change it.
The intent is to capture "if you find can't find a data base then treat that
condition with paranoia and don't vote until someone provides you with one".
The recovery aspect could be emphasized with `forceRecoverEmptyDB`. Or we could
invert the condition and call it `trustEmptyDB`.
