I'm usually less brash and assertive when I'm not making inebriated offhand comments on the internet. Honesty and confidence can go a long way in building trust if backed with demonstrated knowledge, though. In my experience, clients are usually pretty good at providing rationale for their requests, so my implied scenario is a bit of hyperbole. Often when the topic of legacy browsers comes up, it's because the client has been in the process of having a website made before, and is relieved to discover that the technology has moved forward since then.
