Not that I'd recommend that with every superior you don't agree with. Sometimes (usually) they have real reasons for what they're doing.
In their mind, they do have real reasons. People are logical creatures, and understanding the logic behind someone's stubborness is always helpful. Also, you can't underestimate that they have the responsibility for doing the right thing and justifying risks. It is a fine balancing act, being open minded for new things yet filtering out noise from eager younger programmers who sometimes *can* create a mess. :) But I'm with you, my background is in games where exception handling is considered a no-no, for no good reason.
