Heretical thought for the day: would data analysis tools be better if data.frames didn't allow numeric indexing for accessing rows? 1/3
@johnmyleswhite the exception seems to be when the rows are sorted and you want the top k. But there are other ways of handling that.

@avibryant Yeah, that use case is important. And well handled by SORT + LIMIT k. -
@johnmyleswhite@avibryant People want random access to ensure their data imported correctly. Feels more immediate than summary stats. -
@evmill@avibryant That's an interesting use case to consider.
