With all due respect, if the idea is good, then it will happen. The proposer of the idea needs to nurture it and part of that is defending it.
When someone is super optimistic and comes forward with an idea where:
- it's actually just a half baked solution for something I already tried to solve 4 years ago
- I'm acutely aware of all the spots it will fall
- they still think it can work, when it really really honestly can not
- they lack the experience to see that it won't work and become frustrated when I point out 20 problems with it and why it's not worth pursuing further
^ what exactly am I supposed to do with the above? You can take the advice/critique or leave it, but if I'm supposed to try to help and nurture a dead end instead of telling you the issues with it, that makes no sense to me.
