This is a bizarre article, you don't need `polars` to not use an index. All of the examples provided can be run on `pandas`, using similar approaches without using an index at all.

One such example, is don't `set_index` at the beginning and then something similar to this provides an equivalent to filter or use pandas query.

```
df2.loc[df2.alpha == 'x']
```
