I hear you. I've lost count of the number of times I've had that argument. If autonegotiation doesn't work then something is broken and it should be fixed by fixing/replacing the hardware, not by tinkering with the speed and duplex settings. Maybe 10-15 years ago, but not now. I have never seen a case that justified locking the speed and duplex that wasn't caused by some other underlying issue (firmware upgrade required, bad cable, etc).
