   If TPC benchmarks are pathetic nonsense, you will have to explain why Oracle   
   is so heavily involved with the TPC organization. Many Oracle employees are   
   on TPC committees, and some are in charge of those committees.

   Shame on you for being in denial of an independent benchmark organization
