Comment (by tchaumeny):

 It looks like the ORM automatically considers that you are doing an `__in`
 lookup when you give a `QuerySet` as the right-hand side of a filter on a
 related field (see
 
https://github.com/django/django/blob/bbc3505ef81768aa2afac8f73e6d45b5e8000c55/django/db/models/fields/related.py#L1607).

 For instance:
 {{{
 Author.objects.filter(item__startswith=Item.objects.all())
 [<Author: a1>, <Author: a2>, <Author: a2>, <Author: a4>]
 }}}

 Maybe it would be more consistent if the ORM raised some error instead ?

 That being said, I agree that `.get()` is better when you expect a single
 result.
