chuckle It's been done and is done all the time, just not in simple
RDBs and pseudo-RDB products. Refer to Papa Knuth Vol. 3 Section 5.3.3
in which he gives some amusing and relevant quotes from the Rev. C. L.
Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) in 1883. It describes an approach for
finding the most-winning tennis player in a tournament, since talking
about computers then would have been considered cheeky.
