Well, in EH's defence, their statement that a Trench Arch can reduce complex drainage is true, but it definitely doesn't rule out the need for the architect to also consider the effects of the "waste" run-off or the impact on pre-existing foundations or burials. What surprises me is that nobody else picked him up on it before it got to fieldwork - that suggests a definite gap in the curatorial system. If you felt the need to educate the architect on the finer points of his job, then it sounds like he had a fool for a client and you're better off out of it!
PS: The whole "no name" thing on EH Missives is fairly common. It goes in & out of favour, and I suspect it depends on how big a "name" the author is...
