[AccessD] Surrogate keys suck

I'm watching the birds at the feeder at my window and
doing proximity calculations. As one flies up to the trees,

I am dreaming of how humans could do that in a personal vehicle,
but I realize that our reaction times are not sufficient to overcome
the speed at which another might fly into our space without a
highly sensitive proximity warning.

So why don't the birds fly into each other?
