For Want of a JOIN

Sure, but there's a world of difference between someone who knows SQL and uses a ORM for productivity and someone who uses an ORM because it's the only tool in their box.

Exactly. Effective use of an ORM requires knowledge of the ORM's API in addition to SQL, not in lieu of it.

Using an ORM without a firm understanding of SQL is a recipe for disaster (or at least glacial performance).
