I wish we had 2 phrases, one for "you have overlooked this obvious thing, you idiot!" and one for "could someone explain what's wrong with the naive solution?"

- edanm 5y agoWell... your second phrase seems perfect for that job. (let me try it) Could you/someone explain what's wrong with simply using the second phrase? (To be fair, you probably meant that you wish one commonly used phrase wasn't doing both jobs, which I agree with completely.)
- naavis 5y agoWe do! They are: - "You have overlooked this obvious thing, you idiot!", and - "Could someone explain what's wrong with the naive solution?"
