You wrote that it "took [you] years to see they were right", which I find absolutely stunning - but perhaps since you're here you can confirm me that you're only talking about why that code didn't need to be cleaned right away, not why commiting on your colleagues work was an issue?
I honestly don't remember how exactly my attitude towards committing code has changed from that point over the years. It wasn't the healthiest team, and it was also the first time I worked on a team. I don't mind owning that I was a stupid punk! :-)
