As an Engineer I would try to give a logical explanation mostly in mathematical way. If he withstand with his decision then I am with boss, support the company as team member and do my job whatever is given to me and try to put my best.

If the idea really stinks and boss sticks on it then I will definitely abide to his ideas since he is the ultimate boss and I'm also responsible to keep my position safe. I don't want to miss the opportunity given.

I would talk to my boss and will tell my logics and doubts about that idea and will ask from him for some assistance and perspective upon that. If he is not satisfied with my ideas then I will try to settle down with his version of plan as he is the boss and have gained experience in this field for a longer time.

Simply open up a discussion and discuss my ideas and back them with necessary and relevant data. There will be a healthy discussion and new things may come out. It may turn out that the boss is right and there was problem with everyone else understanding his ideas.

First I will did research about that idea and after that if I still feel that this is not best way then I will make my boss aware about its positive and negative impacts. As he/she is my boss and more experienced than me she/he will understand these things and if I don't feel after research that its bad then I will discuss with him/her about my views.

I am sure she/he would have also thought about it and have solutions for it and if he/she didn't have thought about it we will find solutions for it.

I will try to point our various ways that I believe we may approach the matter. But if he keep on insisting I will personally implement his Idea and try as much as possible to minimize negative impact to the organization.

Sir,

First, I will respect him for the idea and will try to understand it deeply in positive & negative prospect by sitting together.

In-spite of think it stink, I will put my positive suggestions in-front of him and brief him how the negative gaps will cover by the positive inputs.
