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.
