You matter-of-factly suggest that a ValuesQuerySet is as good as QuerySet. However, the ValuesQuerySet has some fundamental limitations. In particular, the ValuesQuerySet does not have attributes corresponding to the fields in the QuerySet. This makes a ValuesQuerySet completely useless in a template -- quite unlike a regular QuerySet.
