I think you are right. We've all been conditioned by "don't create too many tables" and even more to "Don't create too many logicals/indexes". For the most part the rationale behind these beliefs is long-since gone but it is hard to force them out of our brains. When I first came upon this I thought that it would be inefficient - but then saw how much easier the code was to understand and discovered that the performance was not an issue (particularly when compared with 2 or three nested function calls) and decided to give it a try.
