Steve's job is emphatically NOT to prioritize delivery of solutions for arbitrary or ill-formed requests from co-workers! Saying "yes" to one such request requires saying "no" to everything else, including strategic priorities and commitments. And it invites more of the same. An organization that ignores the need to respect each others' time is dysfunctional. An employee who insists on clarity, instead of allowing half-baked interrupts to derail the work they're already engaged in, may simply be defending their ability to do their job.
