Oh, I was looking at the wrong index.
I could swear we had a trope named after either Sherlock Holmes or House M.D. for the trope of a key insight being provided by an innocent, unrelated commentary by either the genius character themselves or someone else. I've perused the Index of Solutions, but couldn't find it.
