I was confused the first time I requested only certain fields from the db and saw others output with the class instances. But once I thought about it, it made sense to me. It seems to me that I was confusing/conflating the data returned from the database with the enclosing class instances.
What do you all think?

To me the only reason to select a subset of fields would be to avoid transmitting large fields across the wire if you're not going to use them. If that's not the case then I don't see anything blasphemous about selecting everything and exporting just what you want.
