Oh well, and no: different experiences, richer knowledge-base.

I have to deal with people all the time who seem to think that Shutdown Abort is the mother of all evils, and yet if I ask them do they think they would lose data in the event of a power failure, blythely answer 'no, this is Oracle!'.

I still wouldn't recommend shutdown aborts as a matter of routine. I just don't want to see a cohort out there thinking that it's rather more than it is.
