I think the confusion comes because 
- auditors are worried about what the DBA can do
- a developer is granted read access to some "DBA" views
- therefore the auditor (or pointy-haired manager) assumes the developer can 
now do something evil that only a DBA should be allowed to do.

If the DBA_ views were called DEV_ views, and the developer-useful v$ views 
were packaged differently, I think a lot of these kind of misunderstandings 
would fade away. 

Ah well...
