I've often thought about this in the context of fiction. It seems that the hero in stories often wins because he out 'realities' the bad guy. I try to apply this to how I think about problem solving - but I find the hardest thing integrating all the wonderful knowledge I have and reality. When I knew a lot less I found it easier just see the reality, but I have so many more tools at my disposal now. Experience seems to help.

In the context of fiction, a good friend of mine (Eli) and myself both greatly enjoy rpg elements of breaking game systems in novel ways. There's a rush of levity when the whole thing comes apart. Maybe it's more rules lawyering than breaking per say, but identifying the essential flaws of a system is just as honest as recognizing it's strengths.
