My wife is an architect and she's spent several years working in a London architectural firm. I can totally agree with you that architects are a very peculiar public. And, being bright, she was even in position to give great advice to her superiours -- just for them to ignore it and doing everything as THEY fit right -- just because they are The Boss or The Man or The Owner. It was totally impossible to change their minds.
Eventually to prevent frustration I adviced her to quit :) She's happier now, definitely.
Things she told me they *come & demand* off their IT guys would be quickly deemed unreasonable in my company and with me. But then, everybody chooses for themselves.
