Isnt this the point of the article? Also early in my career I had a boss who told me something like, "I know X is a problem. It's easy to point out X is a problem. It's hard to point out X is a problem, figure out a solution for it, and time/manpower/money to fix it" Pointing out issues is easy. Most of the time you're not going to point out something that no one has noticed before. Many issues are known. They just havnt been solved because they are too hard compared to the payoff or they are not that big of an issue.
