if this is a major effort, ask them to show a proof of concept that this will 
improve performance. Ask for tangibles results. For example, the response time 
for this screen during the day at peak usage is 'X', doing this will reduce 
response time by 'Y'. 

Or it will reduce CPU usage(and you really need to reduce CPU usage because you 
need to add more usage) and have him prove it to you. 

Logic doesn't matter. Make them prove it. You can always test performance. Have 
them transport a production tablespace to another instance and run tests. If 
you do not see any tangible results(not just reduced numbers from readings in 
the database, but actual improvement in performance) its not worth the effort. 

Typically putting up this kind of roadblock kills silly ideas, since the people 
who come up with them don't want to work that hard to prove to you that they 
will do anything.
