Is your solution symptom-free? Can you solve that pesky problem without creating a new problem?
We do not solve our problems by creating problems for other people.
As tempting as that may sometimes be, solutions that create problems for other people eventually create problems for us as well.
Besides, is that how you'd like to build a reputation? Probably not.
Be careful about solutions that push the problem down the line.
If the problem is not gone, it's still your problem.
