When I can't seem to communicate to someone why their idea won't work, I say, "Well, okay. Explain it to me, using a whiteboard and small words. Perhaps I'm missing something. (Quack.)" Three boxes and few lines into the drawing, I usually witness the facepalm and a crestfallen expression. "Oh, I get what you were telling me now. It WON'T work, will it..." ;-) I’ve used this technique in reverse where I’m the rubber duck. When I can’t seem to communicate to someone why their idea won’t work, I say, “Well, okay.

I don't code any more, but, when I was in college, I remember having an issue with an assignment. I went to the professor, began to show him what I did, and realized about 3.5 seconds into my explanation what was happening. Of course, this followed 10 hours of troubleshooting to no avail. I may go get a duck just in case, though. You are more than right. I don’t code any more, but, when I was in college, I remember having an issue with an assignment.
