Yeah - I don't know /why/ but, as I say, I've been guilty of that myself, very recently, despite knowing it's a shockingly poor guide when left to its own devices.

Maybe because when it's right it actually expands my knowledge - there have been genuine instances where it's gone - something to the effect of - "Yo, there's this other idea for approaching the problem" which has turned out to be exactly what I was looking for?
