I interpreted the rule the same way. 

However I still don't believe it to be true. It probably is true that if Oracle 
*or* the competing database is *much* slower as it was here there is something 
a smart person can do to make the slow system faster (unless one or other 
database is using a feature that the other does not have an equivalent for). 
However I am entirely convinced that there will be occasions where MSSQL is 
faster than Oracle on the same os/hardware. In such situations though I 
wouldn't expect the difference to be significant.
