What the hell? those are very good reasons if proven with data. The troublesome excuses are more like:
1) "This is how the framework/library/API we use does things."
2) "I have seen this done in another technology."
3) "This seems to work."
4) "I thought you wanted me to do it this way."

People who know about alternatives are better than the one-track minds, just by virtue of having choice. If they're able to argue for their choice and compare the options even better.
