Minor revelation: It appears to me that modern technology, obsessed with “know-how”, which is quite literally the knowledge of how to do something and solve a particular kind of problem, is forgetting about the “know-why” — the reasons this kind of problem even comes up at all, and why does it really need to be solved, rather than avoided entirely by doing something completely different.

“советский строй выгодно отличается от капиталистического тем, что эффективно решает проблемы, при капитализме не возникающие”. (верно и обратное :)
My guess is these whys and hows are just the sides of one coin. Solving the problem by avoiding it might turn out to be even more complicated than solving it directly. Which is why you need to know possible solutions to start deciding on whether it would be preferrable just to abandon the problem at all choosing some other way to achieve the same results.
