It's likely that the source of the above statement has not had much
experience patching Oracle Apps. In general it is *much* faster to clone
an applications install than to re-install from the source media and
then re-patch. Likely a matter of days faster. Naturally cloning an
applications instance also presents a number of opportunities for things
to go wrong :)
