In many such meetings, at the end after the wrap-up when there's no pressure for anything, I would usually ask "If you didn't have to worry about budgets or physics or anything like that, what would you like to be able to do with this?". Now they could let their crazy dreams unleash.

Often they were right and what they'd like probably was impossible, at least with the technology of the time. But it was also surprising how often I could answer "actually, we can do that." or "We can't do that, but we can do this".

IMHO, one can always ask.
Just don't get too upset if the answer is negative.
