No, you were not extremely pedantic. It's always the same story:
company A orders company B for service C because they don't want to
hire someone for the job permanently. In fact, A don't really want
to spend much money for C. So it's likely that B does a rather dirty
job.
Now you come in and tell A there's s/th broken in C. Then A will ask
B. Just wonder what B will tell - "sorry I made a lousy job"? B will
tell A exactly what you report above.
