Dr. Hipp occasionally gets on a soapbox and extolls the virtue of sqlite databases for use as an application file format. He also preaches about the superiority of Fossil over Git. His arguments generally make sense. I tolerate his sermons because he is one of the truly great software developers of our time, and a personal hero of mine.

These are thought-experiments to help better understand how SQLite works. This is exactly how supporting documentation should be written so that others read it.

He even went over the top with the disclaimers.

I was skeptical at the start but by the end I didn't care if it was a good idea or a bad one, I learned so much it was a great read.
