Charlotte, it sounds like he doesn't like surrogates -- that's what I
got out of the comment.

OK, I never use autonumbers as anything but pointers.  They have no
other meaning anyhow, and should not.  That still leaves me confused by
his denunciation of autonumbers as surrogates, since they are certainly
not natural.
