Chris, you couldn't more closer to the truth on that one.  I've sent them a very detailed email and indicated the issues at hand.  Unfortunately, this is the third time I've told them about these issues, and now I've got more than enough documentation to backup the reasons.

Thank you all for the great responses.  I appreciate all your points.

Best Regards,

Matt Blatchley

  Seems to me, as I have to deal with this kind of crap all the time as
  well, the best way to handle it is not "hash it out".  Simply write up
  and give them a document detailing the limitations and most importantly
  the cost risk of what they are doing and make sure you save a copy of it
  for your self.  If you can get them to sign it, thats even better.  A
  lot of times with people who make mistakes like this the only way to
  change their mind is to let it bite them in the ass.  And while it is
  your job to point the problem out it is not your job to force them to
  take your advice no matter how right you are.
