The status bar would show something like this: Scheduled: 80; late cards: 220; unlearned: 30 You can know how behind you are. My point is, for example, let's say I review 80 cards, and I forget 8 of them giving a grade of 1. I would rather go through those 8 cards I forgot than to keep reviewing the other ones. That's because if I have 2000 to review, at the end I'll have about 200 grade 1 cards.
