<Related to this, there's a myth that design is difficult, but

design is easy, it's a process. The initial creative thought is hard.

<faultfinding/repair can be done by almost anybody. Well, having done
<both, I personally find them equally difficult. Perhaps that means I'm
<no good at it, but...

Troubleshooting is a very complex process that I've never been able to
teach to anyone but those that naturally could. For me troubleshooting
is something that I find natural and easy. I carry that to design as
just a different problem to solve (cheaper, faster, better; pick any two).
But working with field circus underscored that thinking is not something
you can mandate.
