And here I thought the comment was more along the lines of:

Problems have solutions.  Solutions don't exist without problems.  If
there isn't a well defined problem, the solution is really just a
workaround or a temporary fix, and may come back to haunt you.

Microsoft support tends to include a lot of workarounds.  (Reboot (up to
3 times) and see if it goes away).  One of the reasons I like using *nix
is that I can see what went wrong (most often, but not always) and try
to find a _solution_.
