To be fair, Postgres uses TAM internally, so there is at least one
complete and up-to-date real-life example. Learning curve for TAMs is
indeed steep, and I wonder if we could do a better job in this respect
e.g. by providing a simpler example. This being said, I know several
people who learned TAM successfully (so far only for R&D tasks) which
indicates that its difficulty is adequate.
