Oh no you're fine. You weren't ignorant.
It could have been prevented, it's just that once Mission Control told Columbia that they're go for de-orbit burn, nothing could be done.

So what would have happened if STS-400 had taken place, but Atlantis re-entered fine?

Atlantis wouldn't re-enter fine. Mission Control would purposely make her break apart.

Yeah it's a pretty cool move that they do. Few people outside of NASA's enthusiast circle know about it.
