I agree... just to flesh out what Lachlan said: you might have a query
which is constructed in one place (which also sets up the expression,
etc) and then passes it to another bit of code to perform the query
and deal with the results. It should not be predetermined what type of
results are returned, but up to the code which performs the query to
make that choice.
Otherwise as Andrus' suggestion stands you have to make that choice at
the time of constructing the query, making queries less reusable. The
other benefit is that Select then always has the type of the class it
is querying. This may prove useful in other places.
