I have full agreement with you except the quoted statement above. I would actually rephrase this to say: when we are overly focused on our own solution then we lose sight of other coherent variables/solutions that we didn't take into account. Some call this myopic, among many other terms. All our decisions don't exist in a vacuum, no matter how convincingly the perspective is.
