What does this comic have to do with the topic?

[jameshart]

That looking at almost any problem and thinking 'this seems simple?' is generally an indication that you have MASSIVELY underestimated something.

In other words, that by asking the question 'What kind of problem spaces need so much trial and error to understand?' you are betraying a sort of charming naiveté.
