Nothing at all, I'd argue working with relational data relationally is ideal. It was in response to the statement that anybody try to do their own data access layer is guilty of hubris. I'd say the bigger hubris is trying to shove relational data into object graphs and the challenges and pain of ORMs is proof of that.
