No researcher gets a free ticket and >all research should be scrutinized. Speaking of evidence... Hsu basically estimated how fast DB would run on a PC, and it's published (!) in the IEEE journal. Now there are two possibilities: 1) Hyatt knew about this estimate but chose to ignore it. He writes many FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) posts to confuse people into thinking that DB is untouchable by mere mortals. 2) Hyatt did not know about this estimate. I have a hard time believing this, because I just checked and it's even in the ABSTRACT of the article. It took all of 30 seconds to find. Anyway, if we compare Hyatt's estimates against Hsu's estimates, we can see that Hyatt's estimates are HORRIBLE. Is this really somebody we want to trust a lot? Next he'll be telling us that Ferraris are made out of diamonds and can go 4.8 million miles per second. So, is Bob a liar, or is he just really clueless? You make the call... -Tom
