When an obvious math or theory problem arises.
I'm sure they run across problems that more advanced math can solve, or stumble into problems due to not knowing more advanced math, yet their lack of knowledge prevents them from even understanding they confront a math problem. Sometimes the problem is not what they know they don't know, but what they don't know they don't know.
