i cant reproduce the data for you. its internal. I tested it repeatedly. I 
was very careful about the hint. 

select /*+ index(<index_name>) */ 
select /*+ index(<table> <index_name>) */

Tried it repeatedly. I've seen it before. Sorry, I cant show you the data, 
etc... I could have swarn I read in the docs that hints are just 
directives and oracle does not have to use them? I cant find it right now. 
Am I wrong? I'm pretty sure I have seen that several times.
