I for one consider social methods part of the problem solving process.

Knowing who knows what, and who can help, and asking for help the right way is key to getting better at problem solving.

Perhaps it is the school system that discourages problem solving through social means, and people feel guilty about taking help.

However, consider this perspective. What if the ones who could put together people into functional groups could be considered great problem solvers? Consider any of the great American enterprises, there are people at the top who figured out how to put people together to get things done.
