True... however this would still make the code more cluttered and more
difficult to maintain

Also true, but I'd say this is negligible in this case. For example, I have a
lot of methods like:

  public Vector getProjects(String whereCondition);
  public Vector getProjectClasses(String whereCondition);

Returning a Vector spoils type-safety anyway, so there should be no
difference if I use:

  public Vector getRecords(String tableName, String whereCondition);
