Reject the proposed solution as clueless without thinking about it and
you also reject any attempt to solve the problem.


A slight variant of that is when there is a tension between two
different objectives and someone is defending one pole and rejecting
any attempt to address the other.

Recent discussions of DMARC p=reject have flavors of these.
