Effectively , yes of course. 

What I said and what you did not hear was to NOT create the cursor that way,
but 
to use scrollable cursor with all the data you actually need in it ordered 
in a manner to allow you do to quick and efficient binary searches. It is
made
a strawman argument because you are so intent of proving a point, you don't 
seem to realize it is just a bad design - if you want to do what you say you

want to do. 

Yes, this has been beaten quite to death, more than enough for such a straw
man 
argument. Now you can have the last word, because I am not going to reply to
any
more of this. (But I will read it when I get time. :)
