This butcher has reduced a pig, which is actually quite a general-purpose kind of thing, to a dumbed-down package hardwired to work in only one application of pigs. This reminds me of reducing a complicated XML-encoded financial report to a PDF and sending that along... neatly packaged all right, but hardwired to one application. I would hope that people who describe themselves as "data-centric" have a little more respect for the stuff than this example would suggest. -Tim
