A condescending buzz word used when someone disagrees with someone else's solution to a problem, and by using this word they call into question the method used to solve the problem instead of offering any truly useful input. This term is quite often used in situations where someone is trying to stop someone else from being productive.
Person 1: "I've just about had it with Bob's solutioneering. He always pitches answers to problems without defining the problem."
Person 2: "Well, do you have any better ideas on how to solve the problem?"
Person 1: "ummmmm...."

The most common, if not the only message you will see when linking to Microsoft's "solution pages" after using the error reportingfeature
Example: When my PC couldn't play music due to a "missing audio device error" I linked to this message screen.
So I went looking on message boards for similar issue and found one. The person posted about how Microsoft had nothing.
That forum entry was posted two YEARS before.

Me: Oh cool! I can just link to Microsoft's solution page! How convenient....
This problem was caused by Windows. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation does not currently have a solution for the problem that you reported.
Me: You've got to be kidding. Oh Cool! Windows has a built-in help program....

The new system increased the graduation rate to 100%. (This was an optical solution because this was done by lowering the standards to pass).
Our planes always land on time. (This was an optical solution because they added an hour to the time of flight).
We are giving you 20% off. (This is an optical solution because they raised the price 40% first).
The school now has great test scores. (This was an optical solution because they make the exam optional...the high scoring kids take it therefore the problem wasn't really solved).
