Hmmm...

I would say that a real problem solver would 'simply' find a (the?)
correct way to solve the problem. Vectorial addition is such a correct
way, I think it is the only way. Everything else (tayloring the system
depending on the result - juk!) is just fiddleing with a wrong solution
until it happens to give the correct anwer for the particular test data
set you use.
