I think the situation was unwinnable. You've exposed their incompetence. Rightly or wrongly, most people can't stand being criticized. If there's a solution to that one it's a diplomatic one, not a technical one.
Be similarly wary to point out bugs in code reviewer's code. Unless you have a healthy professional atmosphere and multiple reviewers, your best course is to manipulate the reviewer into "coming up" with the idea for the bugfix from your ticket.

It's definitely a form of wrongness that idiotic humans are susceptible to. > 'If there's a solution to that one it's a diplomatic one, not a technical one.' Yes. It's called "break off all diplomatic relations with that crazy ass state and start preparing for war. > 'Be similarly wary to point out bugs in code reviewer's code. Unless you have a healthy professional atmosphere and multiple reviewers, your best course is to manipulate the reviewer into "coming up" with the idea for the bugfix from your ticket.' Listen to yourself. Your 'solution' to psychopathy is to become a psychopath yourself? Learn to manipulate and control others? Just accept people's absolute stupidity, selfishness, and arrogance, and just learn to manipulate them? No thanks.
