At my first company the leadership ran off on a retreat for a day to nice hotel nearby. When they got back the called us back to proudly tell us their results. We needed a killer app. Subject of next retreat, what the app would be. All of us, mostly software engineers, sat there in disbelief. Needless to say, we didn’t have any more meetings to describe their killer app after that.
Sorry you have to give more of what you want so I won’t waste thousand of man hours going down blind dead ends. Unless you do want me to spend time only on this project and with double and triple time to finish it.

Give me an app. That will tell the boss what I’m thinking and not get me in trouble!

Considering that a manager’s job is delegating tasks to subordinates, yes.
