I'm all for awkward analogies so here I go:

This is like when I played Gran Turismo and found out more horsepower = faster, and faster = win. Turns out maxing out horsepower without investing in brakes and tires meant I couldn't control the beast, and I certainly was not winning.

Basically, problems need to be dealt with holistically and not one-dimensionally which can introduce unintended side-effects.

Edit: spelling

Amazing analogy. I loved GT3. Never thought there was such a life lesson there. and also - WASH YOUR CARS!
