"Fashionable Solutions" are major problems. An actor with lack of experience solves a challenge (a challenge coming from of a million+ times solved problem) not with a proven solution, but with a fashionable one (one that currently has some mindshare and good PR). the research most of the time is looking at alternatives that try to solve the similar thing in the same fashionable way. therefore no real research was done.

an example: a fashionable solution for a static webpage is a fashionable static site builder, a unfashionable solution is an HTML page.
