Another example of engineers thinking everyone else thinks like an engineer and therefore, "If I think it then it must be so." We live in a world where there are many needs that need a solution but over engineering a product is not one of them. Engineers love the comfort of technology where there are hard stops to problems. For the most part picking a technology and implementing said tech has a known solution. Human nature and its services is so vast that it mostly does not. You can pick a direction to move forward but the solution has a very gray path. You may come up with a solution but you need help from the customer, luck and be ready to change when said customer changes its mind. You can see this in graphic design. If a designer with an engineers point of view designs a site you will see strong colors, hard lines and a very practical UI. If a designer comes with a humanities point of view you will see softer colors, softer lines and a less practical UI. A perfect UI is probably a combination of both but to get to that point you must have both points view in your team. And be open to their input.
