To some degree it's unavoidable that the answer is you receive are not the answers you want. Most of the time The listener is making some assumptions about what you know or about what you could do or want to do, and those are definitely not going to be entirely accurate. Of course the listener knows that, but if they follow what you wrote too closely, they could be ignoring the obvious solution that you just didn't think about because you were focused on something else.
