But that's not a _theory_. :)

I'd think the reverse. Since we know there are so many different things that could cause any given problem we're probably less likely to blame everything on one overarching cause.

Plus we know how often those problems are caused by stupidity rather than malicious intent.

I wonder, do DBA's tend to lean more toward being conspiracy theorists then???

Dennis, I think you nailed it.

I was a skeptic before I was a DBA.

Mladen - What hasn't Dilbert had to say about managers? Read his books if you need more. Along this topic, someone provided the answer to "why do technical people like Dilbert's opinions so much?". Their response was that
because we are hired because we are intelligent and educated (well I'm still
fooling them), we are hard to manage. We tend not to blindly trust authority
figures, but to be a little skeptical. In fact, sometimes I think a DBA is a
professional skeptic.
