I suspect many don't have a great answer for certain specific problems and hope someone else comes up with a more ingenious solution. I know that's what I do. Even though I have an extensive background in electronics, I've never really tackled anything made before about 1980. This is like learning a new language to me, and I have to rely on others who have "been there and done that." While I can probably come up with a workable solution to many problems, I'm pretty sure someone else has a better idea born out of practical experience.
