I hope, though, this will not prevent seeing the right in what I say. Please, analyze the facts in conscience and tell if it is acceptable that they can't even handle version control.

We can handle version control just fine. Just because you don't
understand the trade-offs of your lofty suggestions
doesn't make your incorrect analogies correct. It also doesn't
particularly upset me if you wish to should as loud
as you can that you don't know what you're talking about, that's fine by me.
