>more time spent working on the problem by a domain expert gives more opportunity to identify deficiencies in the specification
So much this. This is happening in other industries, too. Domain experts are also becoming less expert because of lack of proper feedback about their designs.
It's great to have a spec, but you should understand what's happening with the spec and how it applies to the actual code that executes.
With software we can get software that is very close to being an executable spec. By adding a layer of indirection we make everything harder.
