Maybe all database professionals should be required to join at least one
community similar in quality to oracle-l (this is a community right!).
That would ensure that they be exposed to enough 'as always...it
depends' responses which would minimize their vulnerability to 'rules of
thumb'.

If (when) this becomes standard practice, have no doubt, I'll
shamelessly take full credit for the idea! :)

You got it in one.  I can see it already in one
or two years, bumping into some dhuveloper/designer and
being told "you're wrong" because "triggers are evil".
Unfortunately, that's how these things tend to be
taken: most folks are more after silver bullets than
solid targets...
