I definitely fall prey to this extreme type of thinking. I consider it a form of naive idealism – believing there is always one maximally correct solution. This is why solutions such as Soylent are so appealing to me. Perhaps the cause is simply a lack of in-depth knowledge and experience in the areas for which I'm seeking a perfect solution, or maybe it's related to being on the spectrum.

IMO has hackneyed as it is: It is experiences and maturity. I was of the same mind set for most of my 20s.

As you get older (and hopefully I'm not false in assuming you are younger) family and bigger picture things come into play.

There can be one significant optimal solution... in the context of one particular problem.

Usually there are two which are not clear cut.
