"The customer is always right according to their perception of the truth and
it is the only thing they want to discuss at the time"

Remember Mozart and the stuff he did when a kid? I think we are in the realms
of customers being unable to see the limitations of what "the kid" may be 
able to
deliver HOWEVER if the customer thinks that is all fine and dandy... walk away,

when things start falling apart around his ears (if they do, of course).......

A website is a product, a deliverable, an object , a comodity, one has 
never haunted my house,
attempted to make me a coffee or frighten my girlfriend or the cats
.... things real entities do... n'est pas?
