What Problem Are You Trying To Solve?

If somebody comes up to you and says something like, “How do I make this pony fly to the moon?”,
the question you need to ask is, “What problem are you trying to solve?”
You’ll find out that they really need to collect gray rocks.
Why they thought they had to fly to the moon, and use a pony to do it, only they know.
People do get confused like this.

Nice.  Usually compounded by getting "locked in" to the pony solution, therefore any solution which doesn't include an MLP means you don't understand the problem.

yes ... but I like books
and appreciate the effort and skill it takes to write one.

In this case the ideas expressed and the skills to be learnt make the book of value.
