It's been multiple experiences with a variety of teams in the megacorp I used to work for, as well as third party contracting/outsourcing firms.
I have no doubt it's a cultural misunderstanding rather than an attempt at deceit, but then... how the hell do you communicate technical knowledge to people who won't tell you what it is they need to know from you?
