The users with the most needs are always the ones who either skip the design meetings or just plain assume you know what they wanted. We had repeated design meetings and they never said a word.

A wise programmer once said to me “I just wrote the code. I don’t know how it actually works because I don’t use it.” So true.

If I understand their business (which is not always the case) and know they are being silent about something they should care about, I’ll ask them, “So, the Employee last name is the key for you rather than the Employee ID? If their answer is “wrong”, I’ll keep drilling until we get a conversation about WHY they want the wrong one - though I’m a little more diplomatic than calling it that.
