You may have made a point but you certainly did not get it through.
You just pointed out a valid point (namely NOT using NULLS) but you did
not clarify sufficiently. Being succint or consise is no excuse for
assuming people will understand things right away. You should be using
examples to clarify your point. And in no case, you should be blaming
others for trying to clarify things.
