Yeah, to me, too. The problem is that those guys only listen to numbers, not feelings. Basing arguments on facts is much easier than basing them on something 'ringing pretty true'. That's why challenging their 'vital' assumptions (vital to business, not life, that is) is always a pain in the self-trained Internet researcher's bum.
