Ever have something go wrong and you search and struggle to solve the problem for a while until you realize it was something simple all along?
Oh. That bit of software has it's own mute? And somehow it got clicked? Damn, I wish I'd figured that out half an hour ago. Sometimes the easy solutions should be tried first.

"Nitwit ideas are for emergencies. You use them when you've got nothing else to try. If they work, they go in the Book. Otherwise you follow the Book, which is largely a collection of nitwit ideas that worked."
