If you're pointing out a problem without offering a path through it, that's not contributing.

This is bullshit. Having a solution to a problem has absolutely no bearing on the value of pointing it out. What if someone else who hasn't recognized the problem has a solution? What if no solution exists? What if the problem is complicated and will take hours, days, weeks, months, or years of work to solve? Or if I simply lack the requisite knowledge, intelligence, or skills to solve the problem? Which may not even be technical; as a non-lawyer (or, for that matter, a lawyer in an unrelated practice area), should I refrain from seeking legal advice if I discover a legal problem I'm not personally qualified to solve?

> This is bullshit.

Yeah, the there-are-no-problems-only-opportunities crowd hates to be told that their proposal contains an insurmountable opportunity.
