Yes, all the time. I have worked doing tech support for 14+ years, and think I can shed some light on this - it's simple. The simple act of properly framing a question often makes the answer obvious. It's defining the question/problem that is the really important part in problem solving.
- Semiapies 14y agoI seem to recall the story of a comp sci professor keeping a teddy bear (or maybe another stuffed animal) outside his office. Before any student could ask him about a difficult problem they were having, they had to ask the teddy bear about that problem. This supposedly saved him some time by triggering this exact phenomenon for his students.
