An “idea that attempts to solve multiple problems at once” is NOT a “good idea.”

“An idea that solves multiple problems at once” is “a good idea.”

If it is successfully resolved, we will know after the fact that it is a good idea.

nishio: even if “a good idea solves multiple problems at once” is true, “an idea that tries to solve multiple problems at once” It does not mean that it is a good idea. We know after the fact that it is a good idea when it successfully solves the problem, but it usually fails because good ideas are rare.
