> Normalization was built for a world with very different assumptions. In the data centers of the 1980s, storage was at a premium and compute was relatively cheap. But the times have changed. Storage is cheap as can be, while compute is at a premium.
Normalisation isn't primarily about about saving storage, it's about avoiding update anomalies i.e. correctness.
