I think there's at least one good practical reason to avoid doing that, or
at least to do it at arm's length in a "potential users discussing potential

early stages of something as bleeding-edge as this, it's normal to need
several rounds of scrapping and redoing major chunks of design; if you
don't/can't do that, if you have to go with whatever your first guess was,
it's easy to end up hamstrung later because the design doesn't really handle
the requirements and it's too late to rewrite from scratch. It's
psychologically a lot easier to do that sort of scrap-and-redo if the world
isn't looking over your shoulder.

OK, that's reasonable ;)
