Is this a joke? I wish, but I doubt it.
They have a point, though. It's digital representation that should reflect real world, not the other way around.
In the same way I can totally imagine truncating street signs with names too long for a
char(16)field someone came up with when creating a DB. Reminds me of people making logistics software and limiting Zip codes to be 6 digits.In this case the digital representation reshapes the real world and that makes me uneasy and weird feeling for some reason
