Indeed. It has the potential to help people understand the relational model better, and to implement it more purely than has yet been done.

Because it does contain additional insight, for those
who are open to it. Few here though, it seems. They
refer to parade their partial knowledge instead.
But if you're not in that class, I dare you to at least

CQL on this page and honestly tell me you think there's
nothing interesting happening there:

This stuff is pure relational, but at a level that anyone
can understand... and that makes a difference.
