I don't think you upset anyone at all - it's just important to get a
clear idea of what is and what isn't possible.

Too often a stated management requirement of "must be up 24/7" turns out
on investigation to be a mis-statement of "would not be nice if it did
go down".
I think the advice you were being given was more to try to stop you
driving yourself nuts trying to fulfill an impossible requirement.
Cheers,
