A good pre-press person would get the facts from both sides!

The best pre-press staff are ones that understand the Press as well as pre-press.

Would you also say that the best press staff are ones that understand prepress as well the press?

Prepress and press can agree it's the management/salesrep that is the one to blame

Yes I would. One thing I should have added would be for the best staff to understand all aspects of production or know where to go to get the correct information. This includes Bindery as well.

Rather the point a finger on who to blame. Find a solution to the problem.

In printing, you need to see where you are, where you were, and where you are going. Behind me the job was in sales/design. Now the job is in prepress. Ahead of me the job is going to press, then bindery/finishing.
Gordo has a very good explanation for this, with a test that he uses, and posted on here some time ago.

”It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you don’t know where you are, and if you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know where you’re going. And if you don’t know where you’re going, you’re probably going wrong .” Terry Pratchett (I shall wear midnight, 2010)
