> Good engineering means having the intellectual curiosity to exhaust these possibility before resorting to hints.

While it's great that "good engineering" exists, it often requires a bunch more time and effort than people have for the task right then.

Being inflexible and always demanding that time is taken is an extremely poor approach, and often doesn't lead to a good quality result.

Instead it often leads to the inflexible thing being retired and a more flexible alternative being used from then on.
