It is arrogant to assume that if you haven't found a solution then nobody will. (trust expert when they say something can be done, ignore them if they say it can't be done, just do it)

Nobody is assuming that. The arrogance is when people with no knowledge of the people, systems, or problem at hand jump in as though they’re experts. It happens all the time here (hell I’m guilty myself)

It is also arrogant to assume you can find a solution in a few minutes after reading a HN comment when an entire team couldn’t think of one in years.

There's literally no other solution for customer verification other than an automated phone call into third world countries with corrupt telcos?

We clearly aren't talking about the engineering team here.

There are clearly other constraints involved that we don’t know.
