I keep hearing this claim. I've followed up and tried to verify them. Sorry
but "trust me" doesn't cut it here any more than "trust me this will make
Postgres go faster" would on a code change. What's the context for this?
What evidence do we have that indicates this CoC would have likely resulted
in a different outcome? Without that then your claim does not even rise up
to the standard of theoretical. Frankly this claim does not seem very
plausible to me at all. Let's try to keep our standards here. I'm not
trying to harp on you personally, it's just that you're the unlucky
umpteenth time I've seen this claim made with zero satisfaction.
