Tangent: There's a Star Trek clip I wish I could find online so I'd have it on-hand to show non-technical people. It's from the 90s, in an episode of Deep Space Nine. Worf (in Security) is having trouble dealing with Engineering, and O'Brien gives him some advice, something along the lines of "Engineers like to solve problems. Instead of telling them what to do, tell them what you need and let them figure it out.". Then later when he tries it out, they come up with a solution he wouldn't have thought of.
