@acjay my friend Nick put it well above; it’s our primary job to find a solution. When people do it “too early,” it often gets shut down, as though it would somehow ruin the sacred sequence of the UX process. I generally eschew dogma like that, but in this case it really slows down the process and acts as gatekeeping toward non-UX people who aren’t “the keepers of the way” as it were.

That, and when it happens, I only ever see positive outcomes. Never seen any real harm from it.
