This is starting to sound like the "KDE 4.0 was not meant to be used by users" 
story.

At the beginning of the akonadi roll out  It was extensively posted that the 
db was just a cache. It pretty universal in Internet usage that a cache is 
just a cache and clearing it won't have any bad side effects. To blame users 
for assuming common usage of the term is disingenuous, it was a mistake to 
publicly call it that in the first  place.
