or you never wanted it in the first place.

i suggest being open to the concept that other perfectly capable humans may, in fact, design systems with different underpinning assumptions than those you appear to presuppose always must apply to everyone and everything.

It's important to remove the DBA or Developer hat and realize that you are working together on a singular system (or maybe it's even the same person, etc.)

"corruption" implies that the desired results have not been achieved, that essential data has been lost or compromised, and this clearly is not the case with such a deliberate design decision. one should be prepared to accept this possibility in order to not be merely a fanatic and unreasonable.
