It would be interesting if you could *attach* an "unzip -v" listing
of that zip file.
I'm a bit surprised, though, that Oracle would send a zip file.
Usually they use compressed tar files.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins

However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
