It’s called “spitballing” out in the business world. It can result in dynamic innovation as groups of people ruminate on various unlikely approaches to an issue.

None of us would expect you to understand that concept though.

We do that all the time. Especially at budget time. And some really crazy stuff gets thrown out there at times.

I was thinking that, or, "thinking out loud" and it's very common in group settings in engineering when discussing technical issues and there is a cross discipline audience. If you are troubleshooting a process issue on a reactor, a mechanical engineer might ask a question to which the answer is "obvious" to the chemE guys, but,really it's the ME trying to rationalize in his or her mind what the issue is.

We had a facility manager that absolutely believed in the notion of having a smart, non expert person be part of investigations because they would ask smart simple questions. This would cause the experts to prove or disprove through rational thinking.
