I have seen enough BSers who claimed that they need “do the proper fix” doing analysis and wasting everyone’s time.
They would be vocal about it and then spend weeks delivering nothing “tweaking db indexes” while I immediately have seen code was crap and needed slight changes but I also don’t have time to fight all the fights in the company.
That's the thing, my comment wasn't about that long analysis or doing the proper fix. It's all about asking if this is the root cause or not, or is there a similar related bug not yet identified. You could find a root cause and bring it back to the team if it's going to take weeks. At that point the team has the say on if that fix is necessary.
