I've found its not that they lie (all the time) it's that often they don't have the time or mental energy to figure out what they want and even if they do they lack the tools to communicate it.

That is fundamentally a human problem and I'm not sure what technology can really do to significantly improve the solution which is to slog through it and listen to feedback.

I think many people don't really understand how they perform the functions of their job. Some things they enjoy doing, some things feel like busy work: all the things are mixed together over the course of the day. Picking and teasing the separate pieces apart and dealing with them individually is always hard for people and for some more than others.
