You think database schemes are somehow immune to evolve haphazardly over time?

I've seen otherwise...

The point is not that the DB schema will evolve sanely, nothing can guarantee that (nor with JSON).

The point is that the schema is explicit: worst case, I can go look it up, and I /know/ that the data conforms to it.

No one is arguing it's not impossible but it's certainly harder to mess up a schema than a document db or JSON field.
