There is another harder part, which is that the idea doesn't always
correspond to the solution.

For example, "I want the wall to be orange" could (after much
further investigation) turn actually to be a request for one of:

  a. Yellow wall, with red light
  b. White wall, with orange light
  c. Orange wall, with white light

Quite often the same happens with bug reports;  one first has to ask
more questions to figure out /what/ is being asked for, not what
the person /thinks/ they are asking for!  ;-)
