I think the intent is to have a "question by default" mentality. I'm a lead and my default answer is almost always (in my head) "no" when asked for something from the team that doesn't have direct development value. I then try to get the requestor to demonstrate why e.g. a meeting is needed. More often than not we end up solving the issue via email.
