There are several problems with real messy solutions as the real world isn’t beautiful. Time and time zones comes to mind. Some countries just deletes or add days. Contracts in HR are usually completely a mess as they differ from company to company. The list goes on. I believe the “fallacies-that-programmers-believe-about-X” is a good indication that problems aren’t that clear cut as they seem. And when you do get trapped with the “simple solution that doesn’t fit the next iteration of the problem scope”, where someone else tries to fix your elegant solution to yet fit another problem which the original code didn’t really solve or was thought of, creating a mess.
