:) We use the same exact phrase here in engineering. In terms of "try the simple, easy answer first, if that doesn't work, try the more challenging, jumping-through-hoops answer". We have a guy in my office who I've termed the zebra-finder. Literally every problem, he can give you a complicated, 20 step plan for zebra management, when all you were doing was looking for a simple horse stall.
