Sure I understand, but maybe they, people of the team, does not realize that the
so called typical customer cannot care of something that does not exist or even
he does not imagine it could exist. With that way of thinking nothing new could
be ever done as much you does not ask what you does not know. Who needed a car
when horses were available and cars were just a dream?
Sure, also, some features asked here could be too much specific, but they are
specific because specific is the people that post here. So we have a case of
catch 22. The team does not care about specific ideas that keep being specific
because, not implemented, they continue being specific and so and so...
