Although you may think Jeff's answer was "smart," it wasn't. If you had written something like, "I've read the Concepts manual, but I still don't understand how creating a million indexes on one table is bad," I'm willing to bet you would have received an answer more to your liking. You have to at least try a little bit on your own first, and Jeff's answer to you reflects the fact you made no effort. Telling you to read a particular manual is, in fact, helping you understand. Whether you get that message or not is another matter.
