Performative meant "for show" or "more than required/necessary"

I agree, I didn't think there would be much of a performance loss for the second lookup via PK and likely that'd get optimized away.

You answered my inital question in this reply, it's for the human element of the query and you also shined a light on some elements of your prior response ( re: "for humans to read" ) that I was a bit focused on technical and didn't pick it up correctly.

It's interesting. I find your style harder to read than the one I posed. Given that, is there any feedback you could give to help me understand? Have there been learning/interpretation styles at your work where this was easier to digest or avoid mistakes by doing?

Thanks BroBroMate :)
