I'm not sure I understand your concern about the vagueness of GG criteria. If this stuff was a sure thing, it would be a formula instead of a theory. Personally, I think we would be better served by analyzing real world examples than ginning up hypothetical scenarios that might poke holes in Goeff's approach. "How many angels can stand on a pin" may be of unending interest to philosophers, but I'm more inclined to be captivated by practical matters that can fatten my wallet.

Had ORCL stumbled any more than they did and had they had stronger competition at the time, I think they could well have been unseated, exactly because there was nothing in their technology that couldn't be duplicated by others.

One wonders if IBM missed an opportunity; aside from DB2 aka UDB, what DB scales like Oracle...?
