But is it wrong? If you're in a plane and it's on the ground and it starts moving but it doesn't take off, the answer really is to move faster. If you press a button and it doesn't activate, the answer might just be to press harder. If you're running away from a bear but it's catching up to you, the answer really is run faster. If you don't, you're dead.

So the problem with that is that it's an oversimplification in an attempt to sound smart and insightful and can't be used as a general principle to reason as to whether or not you need to double down to see results.
