I meant that the general principle that you shouldn’t point out problems until you have a solution doesn’t seem sound to me.
As for philosophy, I don’t know whether it has a problem. I do think that rather little useful has come out of it for a long time, and we could use disciplines of applied philosophy in the same spirit that engineering is a conveyor belt for making math, physics, and chemistry useful.

Is it supposed to be useful?
We have them, eg ethics.
