There are nuances to this, too, though: You can be communicating

…and simply be ignorant of a lot of the details that make this not simple for the person who has to "just".
I had such a "discussion" with someone who did exactly this and then refused to even acknowledge there are technical details in their "just" and that their "just" involves multiple wasted person days of effort (in this case for little benefit, as their "just" was to paint over them having to do something themselves). It's infuriating.
Now, the "just" isn't the only part of the problem here, but it will most likely the part where any useful discussion breaks down.
And, while I can blame my encounter on a person with… problematic particularities, it isn't obvious to me that one would always be able to discern easily if one is walking into the same trap.
