How about the opposite: having the optimizer "voluntarily", i.e. without a
hint, choose an index to read ALL rows of a table and that with an index
with the worst possible clustering_factor = num_rows. To counter the myth
that the optimizer won't use an index if the clustering factor falls below
a certain threshold.
