Sigh. I've never expected carpenters to do a decent job of attaching two pieces of wood together with screws and a hammer, either.
Creating a schema that serves its functional uses well is an integrated activity. Neither programmers or schema designers should work in a vacuum.
The legitimate question is whether you can build a better application using a good schema with two way understanding. I echo Codd in claiming that it is always true that a better and more robust solution can be built using the relational model than any other. It might be possible, as with entropy, if everything is perfect you can get a tie (but as we know it is never true that everything is perfect.)

While Java programmers and ORM are endless fodder for discussion, the
interesting part for Oracle and relational people here is how would one
create the schema to provide constant time refreshes to something like a
facebook newsfeed page.
And it can't be explained clearly then how would we expect java developers
do produce optimal code?
