I have 'found the answer' to this one problem several times. But that's exactly the problem. Each potential answer doesn't end up being an answer at all. Everytime I think I've found the answer, I hesitate for a moment (or more) and then decide to risk it, only to later find out that the answer was no better than it's three predecessors.
The thing is, I have once again 'found the answer'. After looking back at the other times I thought I had found the answer, I wonder if this will end the same way the other answers did - with disappointment - or whether I will truly be able to say that I've found the solution and solved the problem.
Do I take the risk and test the solution? In the end, I think I will. Because although I don't know that it'll lead me down a better path than any of the other solutions, I think that having had experienced the results of those bad decisions (which once appeared to be solutions), I am more able to discern what really could be an answer and what isn't. I therefore believe that it will be an answer. After all, there is never 'the' answer to any problem, there's serveral.
