I used to think like this as well, but as I've been on more and more projects, I've found that an interview with the stakeholder is typically well worth the time taken, even if they don't know what they want, you can provide options and allow them to pick.
Hindsight is always 20/20 but I promise you that if you ask the tougher questions by learning the business process behind it, your job will become much easier.
