Bruce,

You are correct, but I've been on both sides of that equation.  If the
contractor does not keep a good file of their objections I the customer will
beat them over the head when I have performance issues.  One reason I don't want
to be a consultant/contractor any more, your never right.

Keep in mind that they pay you to advise them and to do what they want done. 
They do not pay you to beat them over the head to do what is right.

 This is one of those cases where I would document your 
 concerns and the
 potential consequences thereof and submit that to damagement, 
 also keep a copy
 for yourself in the 'Pearl Harbor File'.  Then do as they 
 ask.  Yeah, I know
 it's dumb, but what are you as a consultant/contractor going to do?

Chris,

True, except when I as the customer change the specs.  Then what is right is
what I say.  Or as a Program Management instructor told the class As it is
written, so let it be done.

Exactly.  Which is why I am trying to change this now.

As for the previous comment, they do not pay me to beat them over the head,
BUT they do pay me to do what is right.

Yes, but ironically enough, its the consultant they ram to the ground after
it goes south, no matter how well you document that you recommended against
it.
