I don't think anyone is using the above examples to try invalidate PRSQL, just suggesting the baseline for comparisons should account for all constructs available in the SQL standards and common implementations there-of.

The statement “I can do X better than <SQL example> with <something else>” does not properly show the benefit of <something else> if “I can do X better than <SQL example> with <another SQL example>” is also true (assuming <another SQL example> is actually agreed to be better, not for instance convoluted/confusing/long-winded/other so just replacing some problems with others).
