If you want to know what I meant, I can tell you. In practice I was able to have a GraphQL server which produced optimal downstream request waterfalls (i.e. to internal APIs) for every query that our app made in practice, and nearly every contrived query I could come up with. So what I mean is that if you'd hand-written the code to handle those data requirements, in nearly all scenarios you wouldn't have been able to do better. Does "optimal, nearly all the time" make you feel better?
