“Facts that need pointing out, although they are plain on inspection” is a not-too-inaccurate paraphrase of the definition “class NP problems” in computer science. You aren’t describing a failure of rationality, but a very basic limitation of knowledge generally: it’s harder to solve a problem (how can I toast marshmallows in my studio) than to verify that a proposed solution works (put them in the oven).

But this fun remark ignores the intended meaning...
