I half agree with you, because rspec'ing up things for child entities can be a total pain. On the other hand, identifying how you ended up with a load of orphaned data without constraints is very difficult. If you had constraints turned on then the orphan wouldn't have happened. The middle way between extremes is usually best. I also agree that my newer rails apps have very few constraints in them, but some are necessary. So maybe I'm agreeing with you after all. I think it would be useful for training to have the discussion and let people think it out for themselves. Although most of the Java crew don't get relational databases and that's what I like about Rails - it does.
