I (and about 5 other DBA's) spent about a year trying to get management to
stop believing a Hollywood style developer...mumbo jumbo coming out of his
ears. He impressed the boss till about a year later when all the mumbo jumbo
proved to be false and without any substance. The company waisted 1/2
million on this mumbo jumbo. The company was enron.

managers love metrics. Come up with some completely irrelevant statistics to
do a 'db health check'. Show that these numbers are horrible. Then make some
completely irrelevant change and show your boss the same irrelevant metrics
and proclaim that the db is now healthy.
Spit out some archaic and jumbled techno-babble so that noone has any idea
what you are talking about(they will assume you are smart, because only
smart people talk like that).
this actually works... its also useful to get managers to go away when they
get annoying.
