A pet peeve of mine is that people seem to have this weird idea that
primary key == id. An id can just be some human readable mechanism to
looking up the item, where as the primary key is what is actually used
by the database to determine the relations.

They do not have to be the same field but often times they are out of
convenience. In cases like this, they simply shouldn't be though.
