Curious to see at which number we’ll stabilize.

You’re putting too much importance into this matter. If this is distressing you should let it go and think about something else.
The apologists come out of the woodwork around here who can’t see an SQL statement for what it is, a charade. Anyone who has worked with SQL knows that this is bloated SQL statement and poorly engineered.
I notice the scientific facts of server crashing and SQL statements you won’t discuss, but you sure dish out the social advice for me to “move along” like a Jedi mind trick. Let’s talk about the human attraction to truth and honesty since you are so great at handing out life advice to people. What do you know about the works of Marshall McLuhan on media?
