Why do we even ask this question? How do we feel when people figure they know better than us and makes decisions on our behalf? Hopefully we don't experience this to often after we grow up (except by our governments ; ) and we shouldn't do it to anyone else. And: What if the developer WAS mistaken? The client was smarter than he thought, just didn't tell the dev about future plans because of business secrets? If the developer makes decisions behind the customers back I'd also be fair for him to be prepared to pay the customer if it turns out that Rails was in fact needed (3.rd party integration etc.)
