Re-reading what was said, I believe we might be cross talking.

The 'reasonable way' that most people believe is to 'do it as its always been done'.

> do you think that doesn't characterize the motivating factors that lead to invention?

We as humans tend to to believe that this is the easiest path. Inventors and innovators are not a majority in the population, often popularized as outcasts or outliers in society through popular story tale.

Only in the last few decades has this narrative changed, but I can agree that indirectly yes, these avoid pain, uncertainty and limitation of their future choices.
