> How do you deal with this type of management? A lot of questions they ask simply boil down to this isn't important because XYZ... It seems as soon as you start explaining the reasons they just stop listening. What's there to deal with? Don't go into detail that they don't care about. Instead talk about requirements, outcomes, and consequences. If they don't care about the "why", given them only the "what". I don't understand why you're posing this like it's a problem.
