It is actually much worse than that. You do indeed have some vague knowledge of the issue, and you know quite a bit about designing things that solve problems.

A more apt analogy would be asking you to come up with a super-set of language rules which coordinate the language rules contained in 30 existing books, to make communication more efficient. In a language that you do not speak.

Asking them to design programs to better the business climate is about like asking me to design menstrual pads – I don’t understand the sector, I don’t understand the features, I don’t understand the problems…

Marriage is known to rectify this problem. But then again, if you don’t know the sector and it features, it may be difficult to attract a mate.
