Comment:

 The report makes sense. We could go two ways here

 1. Clear `distinct_fields` as well as it's unnecessary (we only care about
 the existence of a single row after all)
 2. Avoid

 forcing the removal of ordering] since the `clear_ordering` method

 is a noop when distinct fields are defined].
