cus it's really easy to think of every possible solution to a problem when it's not staring you in the face
Here's a more Hulk Hogan style example of this.
Say you're fighting some punk and the best idea is to choke the forgeter out.
You try choking him but then he trys gouging your eyes and clawing your balls.
Then he curb stomps you and you're fukd kiddo.
