Well, talking about responsabilities, I think one of responsabilities of a mature database is that it can only accept data it was configured for. If you try to store a timestamp in a integer field or a huge numeric value in a smallint field, Postgres will block you because that operation is not acceptable. So, it's not acceptable to break referential integrity, is it ?
