I can’t think of any off the top of my head but there has to have been instances. What are examples of using a problem we have to fix another problem we are having?

Happens all the time in pure maths. Ya got a problem? Then absorb it into a special case of another better-known problem.

On, you mean like rat poison (warfarin) used to prevent heart attacks, strokes and blood clots.
