The "does not rescue it". No human would write like that.

No I don't already know that table.

Is really hard to parse.
The section on recursive CTEs wasn't well written and didn't explain how the optimisation was done. This article explains how the recursive CTEs were improved https://duckdb.org/2026/08/25/how-duckdb-runs-recursive-ctes...
