The reason you're getting down voted so heavily is because you lobbed heavy accusations without any backup (projects, whitepapers, journal submissions please).

The reason you're getting down voted so heavily is because you lobbed heavy accusations without any backup (projects, whitepapers, journal submissions please). Distrusted databases are still a specialty today, mainly because they have inherent tradeoffs. If you don't understand how hard those tradeoffs are you SHOULD NOT be using a distributed database by default. I was hoping maybe you had something tangible to share.

That's a tangible line of thinking to consider. Note that I did not at any point say "someone's PhD asserts...", talk in absolutes, or slam RDBMS as a potentially viable or proven option.
