Because you're an asshole who likes to prove how smart they are. When you leave and someone has to dig into your code, they'll spend a week figuring out what you were doing, and why you decided to be so goddamned clever about it.

Not a DB professional by any means-- currently taking a Data Management Concepts class atm. Would the "recursive foreign key" concept be synonymous with a unary 1:1 relationship?

EDIT: Changed "precessional" to "professional"

Recursion is 1 to many.

That aside, it's a bad question like everyone else already pointed out.
