I completely agree. Early on when speaking when setting up a large web site for companies they were all bent out of shape about how to do something and get approved etc. For instance "who approves the job postings?" I told them who approves them now. It's no different. Just a different medium for existing functions in most cases. Looking at it as a whole new thing really will hinder your efforts.

I remember a section on Bill Myers "Product Development for Profit" tapes where he talks about why he includes a free item on his order form. I notice he no longer follows that model.
