Sometimes hammering nails into the broken thing will just end up splitting the wood and it'll be more broken than before.
Yes, this is a tech forum, but it's entirely reasonable to argue that in some cases, a tech solution is by its very nature not the right solution.

We may not want to hammer nails into those boards, but there are plenty of places we want to. We also don't want to hammer into steel or into live wires. Maybe my analogy didn't work. I'm saying form coalitions and we apply our domain knowledge to the domain of the problem where our knowledge is most effective. We leave the other domains up to the other domain experts. I'm not saying we shouldn't be aware and help where we can with those issues, but that we also aren't the experts there and shouldn't be leading the conversations (again, participate, but not leading).
