I've never adovocated "throwing together" a solution. Merely that the
solutions proposed by programmers or database designers aren't always
necessary.

For what reason? If you create a working solution and never try to
expand it, chances are you don't need to, so what's the advantage in
throwing it away and generating work for yourself in reproducing it?
