I think the implicit point made by GP is to question what the purpose of database calls are to deliver a blog post. If the post were just some HTML and CSS, it should be able to be served with very little processing power. It's unlikely that dynamic template population is needed for blog posts.

The database is there so that the person writing the blog post doesn't need to be very technical, or maybe so that they don't need to make a special effort just to update some post. In the end everything is about convenience.
