Classic. I had a similar run-in with the CTO of a company a decade or so ago who point blank refused to use version control for the source code. He insisted on having directories that got zipped and passed around from developer to developer and good luck figuring out how to integrate someone else's changes.
I won that particular battle but it was uphill all the way, at least he had the grace to afterwards admit that he'd been an idiot.
