[AccessD] Primary Key Best Practices

I have to agree with JWC on this (which means either this thread is
done, or the world is going to stop spinning soon....either/or).

How can you defend your position by stating on a DATABASE development
list that your arguments are from a user prospective?  A statement was
made, JWC showed it was a false statement, and instead of admitting that
the statement is false, you are saying it's true because it's true for a
user?

John,

You tend to be highly selective about what you choose to ignore when
you're in full flaming mode.  

Only dbas and sas are allowed in SQL Server tables, not users.  This is
a developer's list.  We develop database APPLICATIONS.  That generally
means that someone interacts with the database through an application or
from code, not directly in the tables.  Both Jim and I are coming from a
database application orientation, which you are cheerfully discrediting
by pointing out that it doesn't work that way INSIDE SQL SERVER!  We are
not in the same argument, and I've grown weary of pointing that out.
