I agree with this strategy but I don't agree with the whole idea of "if you don't agree with something you should suggest an alternative solution." Telling everyone they're about to fly over the side of a cliff is a great contribution and dissuading people from making that contribution despite not having an immediate solution is really problematic. I have unfortunately seen too many cases where people aren't willing to step back and reconsider their situation because they are too committed to the first solution they came up with and moving full speed ahead is the only thing they see as an option unless there is an immediately available alternative.
