Furthermore, moving the button 3 px to the left might take a ridiculous number of man hours, and it's demoralizing work. Most coders are making smart trade offs and balancing a number of things to maximize productivity. How much is that 3 pixels really worth? Why don't you try again, and think of a way to design the interface that doesn't require that 3px move?

It's the developer's responisbility to estimate how much work a particular task requires. If it's too much work for too little benefit, no sane manager/designer would insist on that 3px move.

I'm uncomfortable with the sheer number of insane managers within our industry.

Having just been asked to move something by 1 em, I agree.

Heh. Eyeballed it, didn't they? "What's that look like, about 1 em?"
