Most things that are broken, the source of the problem is a part, not the whole thing.
This goes for appliances. Goes for people. Goes for culture.
At first glance, the easy thing to do would be to simply replace whatever is broken, but there’s often more time and money (and emotional resources like trust and reputation) that is spent.
Far better to figure out the part and replace that. At first glance, it seems like it would be the harder thing to do, but it nearly never is. Not to mention, it’s much more fulfilling to fix a problem than it is to start something from scratch (with inevitable new problems to arise from it anyway).
