If you have unknowns, then your planning process starts with, "let's figure out how to use this new technology." And that process can involve a bunch of prototyping.

Having to make a choice between "make a design document" or "do prototyping" is a false dichotomy. They're complimentary approaches.

This right here <- is why every discussion in the SWE space is super tedious. Every critique of anything is really just "you are holding it wrong".

Over-planning is impossible if you plan for it, thanks!
