And then you ha0ve a use case change. Or need to interface with an app written in another language. Or find that *shock* while a certain object is very effective for holding some information, it's a horrible way of storing for query. An object should be designed for the use case at hand, the database should be designed for efficient retrieval for that and future use cases. The two are damned near never the same. Persistence frameworks are a mistake.
