This. Very few problems are truly impossible to solve, they arem in fact, just wildly impractical to solve. So don't try to tell the PM/client/coworker-with-a-'brilliant'-idea it can't be done, tell them what it'll take to work out what it'll take to do it. Either they go away, or you end up in charge of a project with an astronomical budget and no clearly defined deliverables.
