I like to point out that a several studies on design fixation indicate that describing solutions that you don't want but seem relevenat to the problem can be counterproductive. Also, the postive examples coming before
seems like a case of failing to hold off proposing solutions.
We got a "hold off proposing solutions" comment on the "book title brainstorming" post, too. But remember, we discussed the general issues quite a bit internally before proposing solutions; LW just isn't seeing that part of the planning.
Yes, but the discussion here will be anchored by the solutions you've proposed, even if the discussion that created those solutions was not anchored by them.
I think that was the idea? 'Hey y'all, we want a design that's kind of like one of these.'
