I wonder why you have ever thought that.  He has said since 1997 that Junior
(and other programs) were better than DB2, even when it is very clear that they
were not better.  Even today, several generations of hardware and software
later, that statement can't be made with any kind of certainty.  His judgment in
this matter is clouded by far too much bias for his own program to be objective.
