I don't believe I said the N+1 problem doesn't exist. I said that I believe it's "overblown". I'll grant that's vague, and I can be more precise, but one thing I mean by "overblown" is that it's not necessarily a big problem in all cases, even if it's sometimes a problem in some cases. I definitely do not mean that it's never a big problem in any cases.

Anyway, it's cool. No worries.
