It's not idealistic at all! A designer is paid to make decisions - if all you do is shift pixels around, then you're merely an artworker, and if you don't know how to pull off a gradient in Photobooth, you're not a very good one.
Your job - your raison d'etre* is to act as a professional guide - if the client refuses to agree with you, then fair enough - do the shoddy work, pay your bills - but before that, you've got an obligation to your client's dollar and you own morality to question where necessary and guide the design process appropriately.
I can see why you've been riled by some of the earlier responses, but if you've really been in the biz for 30 years, your knowledge should be deeper, and your skin thicker. As it stands, I am liable to not believe a word you say.
* did you like that? i did... i'ma gonna do it one more time too - "raison d'etre" UNGH!
