Indeed. This is something that comes with experience though. Frequently you don't learn this until you really find your feet and start seeing the patterns between what separates the good tools from the bad... or even the implications of one toolset over another. Sometimes the stupidest most brain dead tool turns out to have implications nobody else ever gave thought to until the light bulb fires in your head and you get that "Wait a minute..." Eureka moment.
It is important to remember that we don't have unlimited time. While the hacker mindset is very good for understanding things, we also need to have the wisdom to pick which one is worth deep diving into. We need to learn which ones to leave or delegate.
