I'm with you. I've used natural keys in the past, and they've always been a problem eventually. On the other hand I've used surrogate keys for 20 years, and never encountered an issue that wasn't simple to resolve. I get there are different camps here, and yes your context matters, but "I'm not really interested in why natural keys worked for you." They don't work for me. So arguments for natural keys are kinda meh. I guess they work for some folk (shrug).
