I agree with this 100%.

Having worked with many people over the last 40 years, the good trouble

were suppose to work. This helps immeasurably in determining where to start 
looking.

Don't forget that a lot of the best figure things out *while*
troubleshooting things they don't (yet) understand.

Give curious people good tools and interesting problems -- the rest will
sort itself out.
