I love the word just in a question, exactly because of what the article points out.
Just means, my suggestion seems unreasonably simple to me. It means I am looking for, and expecting, a reason it doesn't work. The downside is if the suggestion does work, you can make someone feel stupid. But it is a great tool to get up to speed on a hatd problem to learn why the 'obvious' solutions won't work.
