.... but, if I follow a procedure and it doesn't work, and there is no obvious way of resolving that without a lot of messing about... I can't be bothered really..

Unintended problems often have severely difficult solutions, or none.
Learn the workaround, fix it yourself, or just wait.

Some people even view choices as a problem, to them I can just say to go use nintendo.
Now a large amount of choices may present an issue if you don't know what you're doing.
But as said before, this is an unintended problem, and nothing can be done about it.

It all boils down to:
Each compromise takes you further away from your goal. And you only reach goal once you've eliminated all compromises.
So, a project often deviates from it's original plan only to find itself doing the exact same thing in the end, and each detour has cost them loads of time and money.

Trying to fix something which is unfixable is a compromise, same thing if you ignore something in design and software ends up with loads of small bugs.
