>> I kinda disagree with the implied notion that there's only these two options mentioned in the article

I took that away from the article as well, although I doubt that is the author's original intent.

One thing I like to do, if I have the extra time, is pull out a couple of different algorithm's books (Cormen always being one) and see if I can find a new way of viewing a problem in light of an "algorithmic approach."

Admittedly the research takes time and is always a lot of fun as I explore many other "rabbit holes" but it leads to other insights as well. The thing I will try to do is capture a few bullet points that I may have gleaned during this exercise. The approach is not conducive to goal, or time, sensitive deadlines, however.
