This is a really good strategy. In addition to your reasoning re. Social prrssure – the asynchronous coms may give them some time to get over their gut reaction. It requires a little more effort to compose the email, and might just give her enough time to realize she doesn’t need the details or she’s got other things to worry about.
It also gives others a message board where she can perhaps get more context if others ask clarifying questions or have any kind of follow up response. And, critically, if she determines that she still needs more information to do her job, then she’s got to confront that she needs someone to help. If she comes to ask questions after that, then maybe she will be in a better frame of mind to listen.
