It feels easier to solve problems using familiar solutions. We know they worked before. Why wouldn't they work again? That new problem seems familiar, too so why not throw a tested solution at it?
Because it may not work. Have we truly analyzed the problem? Do we understand the causes?
We should be careful about letting the solutions to past problems determine the solutions to our current problems.
Our current problems need current solutions. That's more work, but it's the right thing to do.
