Or possibly you're extremely in the right but they have an ego the size of the moon and they will punish you if you bruise it.

Either way you lose.

Not to just reframe AnimalMuppet's point, but which of these two things is more likely?

1) Your couple hours of research has uncovered something blatantly obvious that was somehow missed by the other party.

2) Your couple hours of research hasn't shown you some edge case or something that is common knowledge once you've been in the field for 2+ decades.

I'm not saying #1 never happens, only that #2 is much more likely. It's a horses vs. zebras argument.

3) The other party has a lot of stuff on his/her plate and does not get the luxury to spend hours of research/thought on architectural details.

And don't forget "Hasn't actually worked hands on with anything you're doing for a decade"

In pc86's scenario, though, it's much more likely that you're the one with the ego, thinking that reading a few blog posts makes you more informed than a 20-year industry vet.
