You're lucky you got some form of discussion out of the people you work with. Whenever I try to steer conversation towards "technical accountability" where I ask what I think are legitimate questions concerning application design and architecture, the mood is as if no-one else believes it's of any importance and I am that weird guy putting spokes in the wheels of a great project. My arguments aren't refuted, they're conveniently ignored. People are honestly dumbfounded and prefer to change subject at best, at worst they lash out with what seems to be simplistic thinly-veiled "culture" attacks -- "oh, please, not with that abstraction/encapsulation argument again, we've got work to do"-sort of utterances.
