I agree, the point was that seemingly impossible problems rarely come up in business. Most of the seemingly impossible problems that business have are a result of overcomplex solutions to simple problems.
The down side to hiring people who are good at solving complex problems, especially when they're young, is that they'll tend to solve them with complexity to make things more interesting than the simple solutions. It's good for them in the short term, bad for the company in the long term, and someone else's problem to maintain.
