Maybe you're just not explaining it to him in enough detail. I recommend artist's renderings and schematics scribbled on a napkin. That should straighten him out.

At this point, I'm thinking about the homeowner who called me LIVID because his roofer did not hit the nail targets on the shingles he was installing precisely dead center. How did he know this? Well, because he got up there and examined the installation that minutely. He wanted the roofer to tear the whole roof off, buy new material, and do it again. At the roofer's expense, of course. As an employee of the manufacturer of said shingles, it fell to me to explain to this homeowner that the marks are a suggestion and sometime due to the specific situational requirements the marks have to be ignored. That's an hour of my life I'll never get back.

But I'm sure you're not that guy.
