Just to clarify for the boomers, the meme is that beginners and experts share similar ideas not that they reason about or execute on them in the same way.

Also, the endearing label for those of you in the middle of the bell curve is "midwit".

This meme can mostly be boiled down to accepting the constraints of reality and working around them. The midwit component of the meme is often something like "nooo, but everything has to be perfect".
