Think about the thing you know best. Imagine an article about a challenging problem related to that thing. A person with almost no knowledge of that thing reads it and says, “Seems simple enough” and presents a solution. Are they likely to have overlooked something? Misunderstood the problem? Be unaware of the challenges in solving it?

By my interpretation of the article, it seems to agree that this is the solution. The caveats seem to come mostly from paying for it.
Can we just put this comment on the top of every discussion here?
Yes, but sometimes just bluntly stating a solution can be a request for enlightenment.
