I understand 'pessimize' to be to deliberately make something pessimal.
What I guess you're trying to say is something like: "Do prematurely try
 to get in the right ballpark for optimality."  But that's just a guess.

Uh yeah, no.  You see, the 'abstraction' is the source of the problem.
Especially if it's an object oriented abstraction.  OO and databases
