Yes, I agree that the statement "A problem clearly stated is a problem half solved" is generally true. This is because clearly defining a problem:

 a. Ensures everyone understands the exact issue, eliminating confusion and ambiguity.  

b. It helps in pinpointing the root cause and guiding more effective and targeted solutions.

c. It improves communication among team members and stakeholders, aligning efforts towards a common goal. 

d. It optimizes the use of resources, preventing wasted effort on misdirected or misunderstood tasks.
