Reading all of the replies and context around the solutions, you're right that it doesn't appear to be one of those cases. But I don't think it was that clear cut from the original question.
The counter to this is, I believe, much much more common on SO: someone comes up with an odd solution to a problem in their head, tries to implement said solution, runs into challenges and comes to SO asking for help making their solution work. That then leads to over-engineered workarounds for hurdles they would not have encountered had they asked for help with their actual problem.
