I wonder if you could point us at the quote since google can't? In the mean time there is a damn good reason an active DBA is risk averse, we are paid to safeguard data. Entrusting it to new unproven systems with unknown recovery characteristics is, um, problematic.

You''l be pleased to know as well that the PCB can't exist according to Einstein since 'I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world' and therefore quantum mechanics is just wrong.
