Turns out that identifying a problem doesn't help without a workable solution/alternative.

I hate this trite and the managers that say "don't bring me problems, bring me solutions" nonsense. I'm not the person to be able to fix it so the solution is make the problem known so others responsible can fix it. If I could fix it, I wouldn't be telling you about the problem. If anything, I would tell you how I fixed an issue in some stand up or other of the many meetings scheduled keeping me from working.

The whole "don't point out a problem unless you have a solution" trope is bullshit.

nonsense on all levels.

RMS has offered broadly solutions/alternatives since the beginning, along with reporting early on trends that other people ignore.
