Hemingway, Hounded by the Feds - NYTimes.com
"Decades later, in response to a Freedom of Information petition, the F.B.I. released its Hemingway file. It revealed that beginning in the 1940s J. Edgar Hoover had placed Ernest under surveillance because he was suspicious of Ernest’s activities in Cuba. Over the following years, agents filed reports on him and tapped his phones. The surveillance continued all through his confinement at St. Mary’s Hospital. It is likely that the phone outside his room was tapped after all.In the years since, I have tried to reconcile Ernest’s fear of the F.B.I., which I regretfully misjudged, with the reality of the F.B.I. file. I now believe he truly sensed the surveillance, and that it substantially contributed to his anguish and his suicide."
An interesting question: how would you help a friend who was paranoid *and* right about it?
Unsurprisingly, I have an answer for my hypothetical question. When I want to help someone, I play to my strengths. I harmonize, in the Aikido sense.

The process of writing a technical specification - Stack Overflow
* You create a list of requirements or a functional specification* You look at all possible ways to solve the problem
* You decide which ways fits best or leads to the best result
What you describe shows that they didn't make a good (if any) analysis of the pro's and con's. In the end it comes down to how well the Junior's themselves are able to gather the right information and then make the correct decision. This might involve asking more senior programmers ;-)
Some examples of design methods to decide what the best possible options are:
