I suppose that makes sense "if you have a well defined problem domain and you know exactly what the software is that you have to deliver".

I don't have a lot of experience in such areas though, and i can't help but wonder how often that's the case. If my problem domain was well defined, the problem would probably already be solved by someone and I'd use their code. Why reinvent? Am I being too simplistic?

Not necessarily. Look for example at the team that made the code for the central computers of the Space Shuttle. They knew exactly what their code had to do, how fast, etc et.
