Yes, I made that point... but the lead just sat there and looked me in the eye saying, "I still don't see why we need to complicate matters by building a data model when SharePoint will create data structures for us."
Unfortunately, the lead has convinced TPTB that he came down from Mount Olympus with a golden laptop powered by lightning bolts... and that everyone else on the team emits fertilizer from their mouths.
I thought writing a tight architecture document would help make my point... but that was summarily dismissed as "gobbledygook" that no one should waste their time reading.
I am just repeating my mantra:
"It's only a job... take your paycheck and deal... It's only a job... take your paycheck and deal... It's only a job... take your paycheck and deal... It's only a job... take your paycheck and deal..."
