Correlation isn't causation. Please don't be too upfront about "why we don't ask first".

Have you often encountered a situation where your non-tech boss didn't listen enough and you were right in the end? Or the cases when he even forgets a month later you were right in the first place? Or the times when you decided not to listen to your management and do it your way and they never realised it was you who was responsible for fixing it at all?

It's not just "being afraid of not finding what people want". It's also the psychology "maybe they don't understand it yet, so I should spend a bit more time on it". The sunk costs and the vision is what drives it.

It's amazing how easily people try to reduce behaviours of people to some singular emotion.

My thought are usually; "I know no one wants it now... but that's because they can't see my vision..."

How many times do I have to destroy my ego...
