Hi,

I don't know if this is agreeing or disagreeing with you'all, but I did not like the article.

Because, it did not help me to suggest 'silver-bullet' remedies without addressing 'How does the Oracle expert _learn_ to provide emergency support?'. Is countering an academic and scientific approach a good approach to learning?

In my experience, it has been fun (in a sick, cynical sort of way) to watch folks shoot themselves in the foot with 'silver bullets'. It was an entertaining read. I just don't agree with the conclusions.

Sorry if I'm a skeptic on this one.

Regards,

Mike Thomas
