Incorrect. ALL strings, whether user-supplied or not, need to be
escaped if you don't use bound values.

Additional overhead, as I indicated before. Additionally, binding
numeric values greatly increases the overhead (because they do not need
to be escaped when not using bound variables). They just need to be
validated as the appropriate numeric values (which needs to be done in
either case).

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
