> I'm not sure if there was some specific part of the blog post that made you think I'm against automatic query planning altogether; if there was, please share that so that I can tweak the wording to remove that implication.

The quote from another article (which I didn't read) starting with "I dislike query planners".

"Against ... altogether" is mildly stronger than I took away from this, more like "generally of the opinion that the tradeoff nearly everyone is making with sql isn't worth it".

Judging by the lack of upvotes other people didn't react as strongly to this quote as I did, so take it as you will.
