A big part of engineering is figuring out what the user wants. The user can't be trusted to automatically know exact
Actually, it _technically_ isn't the job of an engineer to figure out what the user wants. Engineers are supposed to produce systems to exact specifications, those specifications are drawn up by Analysts.
