Is that so, Mr Celko? I thought tables had rows, and rows had columns (sorry, couldn't resist).

I have seen similar statements of yours several times, and I believe it to be WRONG. You seem to think that there is a functional dependency

"Words used by a person" => "Way the person thinks"

Please give evidence for this, or modify your statements.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot: Please correct your quoting style to follow the common standard.
