Call me cynical, but maybe the sales person was trying to push through a
sale earlier rather than later - i.e. "Buy this exadata now, when the
multiplier is .5, and get as much as possible so you have extra capacity,
instead of waiting for the multiplier to go up" - regardless of whether
that's the actual plan.
I am sure that is against all kinds of Oracle policies internally, but
sales people in all kinds of fields have been known to wander off the
reservation when faced with the stark reality of their quota.
