And so why is it a "bad idea" to insist a customer sign off on his own
follies that he insists on having implemented?

All you keep saying is that one shouldn't take those jobs.  No shit,
Sherlock.  Wow, brainiac thinking there.  I'm just fucking stunned by
the brilliance of that idea.  I have to sit down for a moment here.
Wait, I am sitting... I think I'll go lay down and just let that sink in
for a decade or so.

Now.

Assuming everyone and their dog has already thought of that and
recognizing that sometimes those of us out in the real world who
actually do installs themselves are sometimes faced with the need to
take on such customers, or worse, have existing customers come up with
this kind of idiocy in the middle of a project... do explain how it's a
bad idea to insist that the fool sign off on his own follies that he
insists on having implemented?
