No, it is far more likely that the paranoid DBA has little or no respect for the developers. Developer quality varies widely. Some can even be entrusted with the DBA role on production systems. However, most can't even be trusted to wipe their own noses.

"can't actually write and debug PL/SQL" is a common problem all round.
