I was being sarcastic, meaning that clients will always come up with some foolish idea. From a recent discussion here, having the local weather (Relative to home office) taking up 90% of the Corporate Intranet homepage when the bulk of the users are from a remote location. I believe your standpoint is that even though that may be a bad design decision, it doesn't mean that the code is written poorly? I was referring to an application as a whole, including the GUI.
Although on another note, most of my clients do have CF Skill in some extent. I'm usually hired specifically for my database design skills or other 'big / complicated stuff.' They do the simple stuff on there own. It has both benefits and problems. On one of my last projects, I bid out to add 'X, Y, Z' functionality to the site. The client thought I was going to also re-code everything he had coded in the 'right' way. There is a big communication gap there, as you can imagine.
