Is Oracle an Art, craft or a Science?

There is a debate in the Oracle community about whether Oracle is a science, a craft, or an art. 

Some embrace the Oracle science movement wholeheartedly, while others disagree on the pragmatic value of the Oracle scientific movement.  Others say that Oracle is a trade (craft) and does not require an academic or scientific background.  There are also “empirical” Oracle professionals who discount the value of artificial test-case proofs and believe that Oracle expertise is an “art” can only be learned by real-world experience.

This exciting and provocative presentation will examine all-sides of the issue and examine the arguments from each perspective.
