Articulation is not the issue; the reasoning and consideration process is.

If you step back a bit from the words on that page and squint, what you might see is something like "Most of what a skilled engineer does is recognize, sense problems, and feel things that may not be obvious."

The discovery of the right path forward for the goals of the organization comes after that and takes time and planning.

This is a great way of putting it, love it.

At the end of the day, that's it. A lot of people are very good at executing the tasks, delivering what needs to be delivered.

But the special people are the ones who maintain a constant sense of awareness of what might be off and digging deep into it.
