10 Things Entrepreneurs Don’t Learn in College | TechCrunch

"And what is good writing? It’s not an opinion. Or a rant. Or a thesis with logical steps, a deep cavern underneath, beautiful horizons and mountaintops at the top. It’s blood. It’s Carrie-style blood. Where everyone has been fooling you until that exact moment when now, with the psychic power of the written word, you spray pig blood everywhere, at everyone, and most of all you are covered in blood yourself, the same blood that pushed you out of your mother’s womb, until just the act of writing itself is a birth, a separation between the old you and the new you—the you that can no longer take the words back, the words that now must live and breathe and mature and either make something of themselves in life, or remain one of the little blips that reminds us of how small we really are in an infinite universe."

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:
