Useless project managers in APS

I'm a project manager, working in a program (and assisting in program management). During my reporting i needed input from another 'project manager', who told me to list a risk around a system problem which made it difficult to use.

I told them this is an issue not a risk, as it has happened. They said an issue is a risk that has happened, but has significant impact on the project. I agree this is also an issue, but an issue does not need to be major.

I'm so frustrated by the lack of skills here i'm actively considering moving on.

Not to mention they're contractors but i'm APS. Sigh.
