Where this falls down in the real world is that oftentimes your understanding of the problem is quite limited at first. You'll ship a demo or an MVP, and that will teach you a little. As you continue to explore the problem through your work you'll often redefine it. Or it will redefine itself, as happens in so many war stories of service scaling, product maturation, and so on.
