This kind of hyperbole makes you look like an unmitigated jackass. You're right. Sorry about the hyperbole. Why exactly should a single image on the front site make or break your technical case? Have you considered that this might be an indication that your technical case was extremely weak? I agree with you, of course, but I think you're underestimating how important appearances are to these middle-management types. Especially the ones at service-based companies. They will visit the website to research a tool that I want to use, and if it doesn't look professional, it will get rejected regardless of any technical argument I make. This is true for everyone, not just me.
