What you say is so true, Swordmaker.
My sister has switched to Mac, (retired HP software engineer), and finds that when she is having trouble with the Mac, it is because she is overthinking things.
My guess is that this tendency to “overthink” is problematic for some long-time PC users. They just do not understand how Macs work, and try to do things the PC way on them.
Like a reboot as the first troubleshooting measure. That is seriously a Windows thing. Some UNIX systems, especially ones that have been up for years, you do not want to just reboot.
