Ugh. Having horrible flashbacks here. :-D I once worked for a company that had a version control system where they checked in all the data by project. You could go in an see the history of a project by reviewing the documents (emails, spreadsheets, CSV files, etc) or binary data files that were associated with the project. At the time for checking something in, you were asked to classify the data being checked in. You had options like "Document", "Text file", "Spreadsheet", and one of the options was "Database". Much to the dismay of the programmers who had to deal with the data, users insisted on checking in spreadsheets and CSV files and classifying them as "Database". No form of rational discussion would persuade the users to classify the documents correctly (like I said, there were classifications that covered Spreadsheet/CSV directly). In their mind, a spreadsheet was a database, and it was just stupid that the programmers insisted that it was not. In the end, the programmers just gave up trying to persuade them, and we just grumbled to ourselves every time we came across it.
