Well ... 
although you are  correct, you forgot to mention that there is a hidden  table sys. 
fence$, leftover from the archaic time, which (table, not time) has a column drift#  
(Boolean) and one row. Default value is FALSE  and unless changed manually to TRUE, 
the_centripedal_acceleration parameter works only up to 1K spin. 

In addition one has to 
alter session set nls_territory= western 
before updating fence$.

All I'm saying is that the parameter wouldn't have nearly as much effect as
the _centripedal_acceleration parameter, which as we all know keeps the bits
from flying off of HDs, especially the 15K spin.  I believe it's
undocumented now, since setting it to "false" caused corruption from bit
loss.

(how's that?)
