Some people, when they have a problem with X say, "I know! I'll use Y..." Now they have two problems.

So somebody has a problem with X, decide they want to use Y, and have a second problem with that. The quote ends there, but obviously there might have been a direct solution to X or a solution Z that is better suited and/or easier to implement which they wouldn't have had a problem with, giving one problem to solve instead of two. Aside from the humorous aspect, the quote clearly implies one should consider solutions to X that are different from Y.

So how does that not describe an XY Problem? Is the "you didn't tell us about X" really such an important part of the concept?
