Nope, all we can do is use our brains and filter to the best of our abilities. When I go to troubleshoot an issue with a machine I use the information available at the time, I combine this experience, training and information I gather from sources online and in the industry and work toward a solution.
Every problem needs to be approached with an open mind, without that we wouldn't be where we are today.
Remember, in the past humans couldn't fly, couldn't talk over long distances, couldn't travel faster than running and so on, all this was "impossible"...
