Okay, that is probably not that good a characterization.
I appreciate the caveat, but I’m actually not seeing the connection at all. What is the relationship you see between common sense and surprisingly simple solutions to problems?
In my experience the phrase is generally used in situations where everyone is approaching a situation as if it must have some complicated and complex solution. They seem to get caught up with thinking just because we have not seen the solution it’s not ultimately can have a rather simple solution approach.
The common sense is to not over complicate and get in to all kinds of convoluted thinking.

It was sounds something like a pre-existing solution (as opposed to the start of a completely new field).
