Because it was presented at IOUG Live! 2002 (I think) by an Oracle person in a technical session about new Oracle features. Unfortunately, the session slides do not seem to be available anywhere. I probably have the session name and time written down somewhere, but it is not to hand. I didn't believe it at the time, but thought it was probably overstating the case. The statement was unambiguous, unqualified, and emphasized. But who am I to argue?
