Your points, whether valid or not, do not change anything. I am unfortunately familiar with corporate mentality, and I'm also familiar with being flexible (which often seems to require an individual, influential [or quiet] person rather than a corporation).
In what I delivered today, I provided a sample to the local contact who actually looks at the photos - merely for comparison - of an underexposed (ceiling was black, flash recycle time, exposures were very inconsistent, etc.) ISO800 image, which I pushed 2-1/3 stops in post (basically ISO4000-ish, though I told them it was ONLY 2 stops pushed). I did a version with luminance reduction and one without. There was a photo directly before it of the same subjects that was exposed fine at ISO800, for them to see the difference when output at the resolution requested (~4500x3000).
What I hope to accomplish with this is having additional flexibility, permission as such, to use higher ISOs...or at least to confirm where the absolutes stand.
But all of this is irrelevant to the original point I was trying to make, which was...how spoiled - and very out of practice with careful flash use and metering - being able to push ISOs and open up apertures has allowed me to become. I've apparently forgotten how to handle proper metering and focus point targeting, as well as how to try to make each FIRST shot count. The experience served as a wake-up call it was probably good for me to have.
