I think we need to be more careful about how we evaluate the realness of "problems" and how we evaluate the goodness of "solutions." To facilitate that I came up with a "real, exaggerated, fake" ranking system for problems and a "good, poor, bogus" ranking system for solutions. I've applied it to four topics I care about, assigning percent values based on my own personal opinions of the problems' realness and solutions' goodness. I made the graphs in Excel. Probably no two people will ever agree on the exact rankings (I even went back and forth with my own rankings for a while), but I think the concept could be useful for framing discourse.
