I think someone poured concrete in your brain which makes it impossible to "normalize your design". Nearly everything (rdb, oodb, and the letter 'A') in a computer is the transformation of concepts to physical structures eventually to bits in RAM or on the hard drive. > You don't even know what normalization is, do you? It is the process you need to go through to rejoin humanity.
