I'm missing the simple in your explanation or the reality of 3000 columns (Seriously???).
Do you project the schema on the side of buildings?

Yeah I don't have time for this...  I've received similar poo poo
responses from this group on similar type discussions.

I'll tell you I'm a performance EXPERT and have been designing large
scale systems for over 15 years.

The general arguments have always been that the approach is too simple
or too not what you guys are doing.  Try working on a large scale and
you'll realize ruby on rails and PHP with training wheels isn't quite
the only answer.

As for arbitrary numbers its not so arbitrary your code should meet
your demands.  When I signed up I didn't realize this group was PHP
for pea-pod size projects with a pea-pod brained Arlo.
