But that's the thing, keyword filters aren't enough because you can smuggle hidden instructions in any number of ways that don't involve blacklisted words like "eval" or "ignore previous". Moreover "back in the golden years of sql injection attacks", keyword filters were often (mis)used in a misguided way of fixing SQLI exploits, because they can often be bypassed with escape characters and other shenanigans.
