Neo,

I am curious: does it bother you at all, the steady stream of database professionals, college professors, etc. who come through here and try to explain to you that you are misunderstanding normalization? Do you ever consider the possibility that, in fact, they might be right and you might be wrong?

It strikes me that there are two possible ways to interpret the situation. Either you have broken though the previous ceiling on human understanding, through genius or deep insight, or else you simply misunderstand what's going on.

Is it that your opinion of yourself is so high, or that your opinion of everyone else is so low?

Can I ask how old you are?
