Thanks again, all for the advice. 

I must say, though I agree with Joshua and Christopher (as well as
others) about getting the data to support or dispel the notion that
the behavior is truly acceptable, the situation we're in is much
like what Caroline suggested in her last response: sometimes it is
just the way it is.

Rather, I'm in a situation where I am the sole internal UX person at
a company that though it's been in business for over 20 years, has
internal processes that don't yet gel with what we UX practitioners
understand to be the most useful in designing an easy-to-use website.

The group I'm in is making slow progress in that direction, but for
the most part, every meaty interaction design project that I see
float by me is only that in *my* eyes. It's a constant, "choose
your battle" situation, in which I'm fighting fires, not studying
what's causing them in order to keep them at bay.

Our team is trying to make progress, but it's a large shift in
internal processes that needs to occur from the top down, and we're
trying to weave UX into that as we go.
