Oh, I wasn't meaning to suggest that all problems are solvable by throwing more resources at it, that clearly isn't the case. But it's super common for a team to be asked to do something fundamentally outside their scope, and the asking client/boss not realizing that they are doin g it. "Figure it out" as a useful strategy sort of assumes that both sides of the equation are clued in about this and roughly on the same page. "I underwrote a great team, you should be able to figure this out (stop whining about it being hard)" is a fundamentally different statement than "Why can't you just do X, how hard can it be?" It's also worth remembering that the plural of "resource" is not "team".
