Missing my original point here. The set theory is the _point_. SQL is a gargantuan distraction from using it efficiently. 

Imagine if COBOL was the only widely-available programming language with functions. You might use it, because functions are really great abstraction for programming. That wouldn’t mean that COBOL wasn’t an utterly awful language.

COBOL is a great language in its domain.
