ROFLMAO! Reminds me of the quizzical looks I got from the secretarial staff at DTSS when I used to insist on performing the revision page merges into the manuals personally. (Dinosaur age doc tar corrections.) Management even didn't complain about the time it consumed after the second time it saved huge amounts of lost effort working around bugs that had been repaired in the assembler.

Is the next round of meta-optimization figuring out how to influence the optimizer to get to a good solution in fewer permutations? (non-sequiter intentional)

Yes! A dynamic e-book where corrections are emailed directly to us when detected. That sounds like a winner.

By the way: If it isn't too late, I'd like to post the following review on Amazon of the not-yet-planned book from Wolfgang Breitling:

Title: 10053 reasons to perform a dump in your own house

Author: Wolfgang Brightthing

Review (no stars, posted by Egghead): This book is a complete waste of the 10053 dollars I had to pay for it on Barnes & Noble. The book doesn't cover any of the undocumented features of event 10053, but simply does a step-by-step walkthrough of the self-explanatory, easy-to-read, well-documented event. The author wastes page after page explaining things instead of showing the use of oradebug. I'll never buy that book again
