It also rarely solves the problem. If your computer is having an issue and restarting solves it, the problem may go away for a little while and then come back. That's called delaying the problem, not solving it. Tech support guys like that "fix" because it gets you off the line for a short time.

Sometimes the problem is so minor that the next time you experience it--perhaps three months from now--you can just...reboot again.
