I try to explain to clients (and designers...) that user always knows where he got to - people just don't type random adresses :)
Site design should already have logo and "corporate look'n'feel" so such splash screen basically has no information on meaningful content.
Visitors seeking information will get annoyed and bored by splash screen, because it is not what they came for.
There is also an explanation on useit.com: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990530_comments.html
