You missed a number there. How much revenue does that 10% bring in? If it's more than 25k then they will be foolish to deliberately turn then away. But deeper than that, I think the businessman doesn't even *know* that he are missing 10% of his potential market. His webmaster might know, but his webmaster doesn't know anything about business, and thinks 90% is good enough.
