The absurdity of it?
Is the theoretical amount of results the important part? Or the results itself?
Let's imagine you go to your imaginary mentor to ask a question. Your mentor can give you thousands of answers - they are a creative person - would you really even care about all those answers, or do you want only one or few (more) accurate?
But fair point, if I were an immortal person with infinite amount of time I too would want to see ALL the results, not only the "best".
- matheusmoreira 4y agoMy imaginary mentor doesn't tell me they have a billion different answers to my question. Would you use an SQL database that doesn't return a proper result set to your query or take LIMIT and OFFSET into account?
- debesyla 4y agoHmm... If the database somehow manages to still do what I need it to do - yeah, sure? (But I may be strange here, dunno. I am alright with using suboptimal tools - like WordPress for my eshop, haha...)
