It is not helpful to respond to ideas by immediately dismissing them because they don't work perfectly out of the box.

It is anti-helpful to present a bunch ideas with a disclaimer that premptively dismisses all discussion of problems with the ideas.

The same problems can be discussed in a constructive way rather than a dismissive way.
