No need for the flame suit. You're spot on with this post.
Blocking outbound traffic on one port, for one machine, with a very legitimate task borders on paranoia to the point of lunacy.
Sounds to me like these network admins have a chip on their shoulder from some other "event" that happened in this company and now its payback time.
They're merely flexing their IT muscles and making themselves appear powerful in the process. In reality, this will bite them in the ass soon enough.
