Heh... read the article... Had never heard anyone complain before about
arbitrary primary keys... and honestly, it strikes me as being rather
odd... I've only ever heard people complain about meaningful keys
actually. But it just seems really odd to complain that "hey, it's a
challenge to figure out who a person's boss is by looking at the primary
key in this table directly" when I always thought it was sort of
contrary to the notion of software for people to be looking at those
primary keys. People don't want to see the key anyway, they want to see
human values -- so why would it be a problem that something they don't
want or need to see is confusing to look at?
