I suspect there are a lot of people who dismissively consider an idea unworkable after trying to solve a flaw for less than 1 hour, and there are a lot of people who stubbornly insist an idea can still be saved after failing to solve a flaw for more than 1 year.
Maybe it’s too easy to reject other people’s ideas, and too hard to doubt your own ideas.
Maybe it’s too easy to continue working on an idea you’re already working on, and too hard to start working on an idea you just heard (due to the sunken cost fallacy and the friction of starting something new).
