I have this exact issue going on. I've learned to distrust my 'instant answer'. I tend to skip this fast answer and work very slowly though the problem, and generally find the quick answer to have been wrong unless I know I have collected and absorbed a great deal of information, and slept on it for at least 1-2 nights. I have found the quicker answers to usually be correct if those prerequisites have been followed.
