Almost every time I implemented something where my guts said no was a disaster. Business types need to learn if we say no at first, insisting to get a yes is a really bad idea. Tech is not negociable, we aren't doing a deal at that point. Sometimes we are too tired to find detailed and convincing arguments why it's wrong and explain the little tiny details to convince you :
Yes programmers should give options, and learn to works with business guys. Don't worry we know that lesson. But, we are all on the same boat and as scary as it is, you have to learn to work with us too ... If you get a no, try to understand why is it a no, but never try to change it to a yes.
Actually even if you get a yes you should probably give arguments against too, because sometimes we can miss a thing too.
