So, Stating The Simpler Solution seems to be the winner.
Should I start a thread in special efforts for help with changing wicks from Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him? to whichever of the three subtropes is appropriate? Between all the redirects, there's over a thousand wicks.

That would probably be an excellent idea.

- A character chooses instead to use an overly elaborate or risky solution.
- A different character points out the availability of the mundane solution.
