Actually, a better critique would be to note that it is a straw man. Neither Chris nor Fabian has ever, to my knowlege, claimed that TRM was the ultimate answer to physical independence. I have heard one or the other of them call it exciting and remark on things like linearity of cost for joins etc. In that sense, I strongly suspect both Chris and/or Fabian largely agree with Nathan's opinion.
As for myself, I am in Marshall's camp on the topic of TRM -- I lack the information necessary to evaluate the claims. Received on Sat May 13 2006 - 09:11:25 CEST
