Silly WordPress Errors ( Thank God For DB Access )

So I posted a script, and my stupid little syntax highlighter plugin decided that it was a good idea to bug out on one line of code and insert some HTML into my script that printed out instead of what was supposed to be there. Yay me. I tried editing the script from the html only editor mode, to no avail. What ended up fixing the problem was manually finding the post in the database, and stripping the bad syntax from the post. Thankfully, this should no longer be an issue, as I plan to NEVER edit that post again. At least not through the WP interface.
