I don't think that needs stating any more than that some people with driver's licenses are lousy drivers.

Ok so far. But lets look at the tools used for identifying problems on a production database. Lets consider StatsPack. Is there a class taught by any organization, for developers that teaches the use of StatsPack? How about ASH and AWR? How about the wait interface? Can any developer, not also serving as a DBA, honestly say they know what columns are in gv$waitclassmetric_history or that they even knew the name of the view before I posted it here?
This thread started out with a developer wanting access to autotrace. Someone that can't get access to autotrace, unfortunately not that uncommon, is going to run and interpret a 10053 trace? I think you are trying too hard.
