That's a reckless assumption.


Maybe, but as I understand it, the value proposition of MongoDB is closely tied to clustered deployments.


Sorry, I meant this assumption:

you've carefully weighed the tradeoffs made by the various alternatives in the space, and learned the best practices for deploying the one you chose to use

It is unreasonable to expect everyone you want to use your software to become an expert in its subtleties before deployment. Of course it's what you'd hope, and in a perfect world it would hold, but in the real world, no matter your market, a lot of your users are going to be lazy and irresponsible. You need to protect your users better than this. To do otherwise is lazy and irresponsible.
