One of those would be "scale" and the rest would be the novel solutions you seek. I think it depends on how people process constraints and whether they accept them at the surface or look for implied meaning. I used to ask people "Tell me why chocolate fire hydrants are a bad idea," so that I could see how they thought about engineering, manufacturing, material science, robustness, etc. I see what you’re saying, but to get novel solutions from some candidates, you may have to pose a similar problem without constraints, such as “Tell me all the ways you might determine the weight of a 747.” One of those would be “scale” and the rest would be the novel solutions you seek.
