Engineers are not black boxes which take well defined product requirements as input and produce code as output. That seldom results in good products in the real world. A competent engineer has to understand the business domain and be intimately involved in the requirements definition process. The product owner (or product manager for higher level stuff) has the final authority on requirements but it's a two way conversation. Otherwise too many things fall through the cracks.
It's silly and counterproductive for engineers to expect managers to be all-knowing seers, and then act disappointed and put upon when those managers inevitably make mistakes. They're human too. Find a way to work with them productively.
