You've got it backwards. You used the Visitor pattern in

There are no real rules for when to use what GOF pattern, especially
if there are competing factors. The rules of relational
normalization are governed mostly by duplication removal. All else
being equal, consistency trumps inconsistency.

So you can't provide an actual example. You should just come out
and say so.

How exactly does one provide examples to show that there are no
consistent consensus rules for something? If I say "There is no
evidence that unicorns exist", you cannot ask for an example. It is
YOUR burden to show that unicorns exist. Now, replace unicorns with
"consistent consensus rules".


Alternatively, you could simply admit to Neo that you cannot
support your assertion.

This still appears to be your only option.

Sincerely,

Patrick
