Exactly. "Avoid premature optimisation" doesn't mean "make it as slow as possible", it just means "use std::vector until it becomes an issue instead of hand-coding some arcane data structure in assembler".

Except that salespeople say "don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle!", so this could get confusing.
