Well gosh, I would say that that's something only a newbie could say about
SQL of all things...
I had a whole thing written after that but I just deleted it. I grow tired of

I am pretty happy to hear that the SQL standard endorsed the idea having the
right thing happen if the primary key is present in the grouping list. That
would be a wonderful feature for Postgres.
