I think a great amount of progress is made based of faulty inputs. One hears 
or reads a word wrong, sees something and the brain renders it wrong, sounds 
the wrong note on a musical instrument. I guess that doesn't make the 
programming harder, I just think it's interesting.

Also, If I try to solve a problem, my sub-conscious overwhelms my conscious. 
Fix a problem firmly in my mind and a few days later an answer pops up out 
of nowhere.  If I'm lucky, that is.

I  suspect there are people who can just bull ahead and force a solution, 
too. I am not thinking of "school type" problems here.
