I agree with your disagree! Setting rollback segments 'as small as you can make them' is just plain daft, and setting optimal at all is equally mad. Optimal is there for those databases that don't have a full-time DBA, and as such it can be a useful 'light-weight management' tool. But in a properly-managed production database, it's an utterly lousy idea.
