There is more than one way to look at it though. Even if you did do a check all box and accidentally checked the wrong column, you could just refresh the page without saving it. How about instead modifying jTooltips to give a nice permissions page specific description when you mouseover each checkbox. Greg Knaddison wrote:

You might want to take a look at the issue where these check-all boxes were added: http://drupal.org/node/84961#comment-449568
I'm not saying that should be set in stone, but when those select-all boxes were added they were purposefully not added to the permissions page because of the potential for accidentally doing a lot of damage on that form.
In general, there's no need to ask whether something should be added. Just make a patch and create an issue.
