Working in IT with people (also in IT) who speak imprecisely (to the degree that often what they say is exactly wrong) is particularly challenging.
I have a coworker like this.
Coworker: "Im going to instantiate an instance of this Class and assign it these values from one of its constructors"
Me: "cool - you made an object. go on..."
If it makes you happier to know, it does not exactly make my day to go through blindingly obvious alternatives with people that clearly are capable of inferring them all.
But sure, I see your point, and experience it too with some people that probably would be better working with something else.
