Someone to blame as a scapegoat for why his badly planned project had 
failed.  I've done several Oracle conversions before, and never met 
someone who was so resistent to doing the right things for such a 
conversion.  You have to relatively flexible in your thinking to work

project to succeed.  I didn't hear a whole lot of "flexible" in that 
discussion.
