This is why I like asking questions by email. It forces me to formulate the problem in one go in as much detail as the receiver might need. A lot of the time I end up not sending the email after that mental exercise. (this is basically rubber duck debugging but less abstract - you can work in the context of a real person not an inanimate object)
