Yes. That is one of the reasons why you should dbms_stats instead of
ANALYZE. Dbms_stats can save the old 'good' statistics to a stats
table, so you can easily restore them.
Also many people warn against frequent analysis.
IMO, I think frequent analysis, without saving the old statistics
(which seems to be the norm in my office) is just asking for trouble.
