Tell: Maybe. Depends on my relationship with the client and the situation.
Responsibility: NO.
My general rule is I am not their business advisor or market analyst (unless they hire me for those roles), something that looks crazy to me might be a great business idea/wish. I don't want someone to shy away from their dream because I can't view it from their perspective.
If I was giving advice and if New York times would have come to me for their paywall, I would have said not a good idea, but than I would have lost a $40million project and lost any credibility as a good business person because I said no to a great business opportunity.
Although I have lots of business experience, when I am getting paid to be a Developer or Designer that is where I should limit myself to.
