In the use of the adjectives 'precise' and 'enormous', you are just repeating the same false dichotomy in a slightly different form, by ignoring (or not understanding) my point about the use of abstraction in analytical thinking.
The people who are most successful in what you distinguish as development understand a good deal more about what they are working on than spec programmers need to, and they are not, as you imply, groping around in the dark for a solution - that's what spec programmers do when faced with a development problem.
