At the same time we're getting a lot of people with XY-problems. They think they know what the problem is and they think they know what they about have to do, while the real problem is somewhere else. If someone's intend with an asked question isn't clear, then "But what are you really trying to do?" is a valid question.

It's impossible for anyone to just know what you're intentions are and whether you understand the deeper semantics of a problem. More often than not, people try to do things for the wrong reasons.
