No. I shouldn't have to explain this, but on the tiny chance that you actually believe this is a valid argument, I will. Regardless of all your good intention, with offline validation the server can't guarantee that the ODBC client has done its job. It opens up a whole new avenue for spoofed data, and as such is utterly indefensible.

I'll wager that not one person on this list would implement a system where the server doesn't validate production data.

If you'd like to continue arguing for this architecture, feel free. I won't be participating anymore. When ideas get this bad, they're not worth the electrons.
