All of us programmer/engineer types have an absolute responsibility as a part of what we do to kick things back when the requirements aren't sufficiently discrete as to be clearly implementable and testable.

Working with the customers to refine them, certainly. But you can't implement "it" if they can't define "it". Hard stop.

I used to think "well, great. But it doesn't work that way here." Nonsense. It works that way everywhere you insist it works that way.
