I agree with everything you say. Furthermore, I think that when I'm being
paid for my expertise, I have a specific responsibility to stop people
from doing stupid things, even if they do happen to really want them.
There is no honor - and in the long term, no future - in casting aside my
better judgment because I once read that "the customer is always right."
