Honestly, there's a certain cost-benefit analysis here. In both instances (rebooting and recloning), it's a pretty fast action with high chances of success. How much longer does it take to find the real, permanent solution? For that matter, how long does it take to even dig into the problem and familiarize yourself with its background? For a business, sometimes it's just more cost effective to accept that you don't really know what the problem is and won't figure it out in less time than it takes to cop-out. Personally, I'm all in favor of actually figuring out the issue too, I just don't believe it to be appropriate in every situation.
