There's often a non-complicated solution to a difficult problem but spotting it takes some skill and experience and sometimes takes longer to implement than a more obvious complicated solution.

And sometimes complicated problems can really be solved only by a complicated solution, but can be half-assed in a simple way. You pay for the partial solution much later.

It is good to avoid future discounting in this way.
