We're agile now. We don't have a solid view of the problems we need to tackle, we're just given a little user story that says "Plane noses down with these inputs" and we code it up, send it over the wall. The larger the org, the less likely the actual engineers that will design the system are invited to the planning and arch meetings. So when stupid ideas come up in those meetings, there's no one to say "no, that's dumb" because management only knows how to say yes to their boss.
