Thanks for the article, it might help. The thing about a rumour, that 'Rails does not scale' it's difficult to shift once it's formed, just look at "Java is slow" which still persists to this day. People are generally sceptics and are more likely to believe bad things before they believe the good. I can send him articles about it, but he hears it from multiple people outside the community that it's an unproven and potentially unscalable framework. He does actually believe me to some extent, but then always falls back to the fair point, that if I don't have time to work on it, he'll have trouble finding someone within a decent budget to do fixes and extensions.
