False equivalence.
You planning 'how to put fuel in a nulean aircraft carrier'.
For most software projects the equivalent question being asked is 'can you put some fuel in this thing we have'.
When asking things like
* what kind of fuel
* is the thing a container or a vehicle
* etc
The response is often 'isn't it obvious, you're the developer you should know'.
Can you tell I'm in the middle of training coworkers to offer up proper requirements.
