Believe me most people _do_ know what they _want_.

Never? In all cases? So only the engineers can tell us what they need?
This is a lot like the statement your president RMartin made that "the
engineers should determine the domain model".
I think you are wrong to make such an uqualified assertion. If you said:
"They _sometimes_ don't know _precisely_ what they need", you would
be a lot closer to the truth, imo.
