And your point is? yes sometimes you have complex business logic but throwing way all the benefits of using a RDBS is a sign that your developers cant hack SQL properly.

I would be the first one to admit my SQL chops are probably lacking, so perhaps this is just my own bias revealing itself. I'm not saying to _not_ use stored procedures. I'm just saying that throwing literally _all_ of the business logic in them feels a lot like a silver bullet. I've always felt that any of the more "standard" backbend languages would be a better choice for that complexity, since their expressiveness helps to describe that complexity in a way that is easier to grok for a larger number of developers.
you mean like COBOL :-)
