At this point, I'm only curious. I'm certainly not defending the man--as if he needed defending by the likes of me! I'd hate to see this evolve into what we in another NG refer to as a "Provide Proof Or Retract" challenge.

More often than not, when he writes about db "theory", it consists of not much except for name-dropping. That seems like an idiotic interpretation of the word "theory", to me.

So Celko's on shaky ground when it comes to theory.

He is not shaky. He is a complete idiot.


How would you or others
in this NG rate him on practical issues?

He is an idiot.


When he goes after what certain people such as Date have said, it is amazing how often he misses their point by a mile, this is clear to even a part-time, haphazard, amateur student of theory like me.

Could you cite one or more specific instances?

Too many to enumerate.
