Yes, I tried asking "why?" and am still waiting for a response. I'm pretty
sure the front line techs are just trained to say "follow the docs" no
matter what.

I think it's one of those "safe" values.
I ran across this too and our linux box has 7Gb RAM, but just left swap at
around 3Gb and it ran fine.
The statement is probably based around a minimum Oracle config and is set to
ensure Oracle will install in such a config. Of course, trying to get a
definitive answer to "Why" from Oracle may take you some time :-)
