It sounds to me that the designs of the "too-many tabled" database probably has quite a few really really poorly designed tables which cause headache after headache. So, new poorly designed tables (of which this one is) start compounding the problems. But, the real problem is that the designer/s of the tables in this database never knew what they were doing in the first place.

I guess if I was paying for it and I knew nothing about databases and all I knew was that a new table equated to more problems, I'd be inclined to keep the number of tables at a bare minimum as well.
