When you hear hoof beats, think of horses, not zebras. This is approaching the unicorn territory.

 

That is a bit cryptic?

 

nope. its an old saying about looking for the obvious diagnosis first.
when you hear hoof beats, you should think of horses first --> is go for the most obvious diagnosis first
if that does not work, you then think of zebras --> a less obvious diagnosis

the case above is even less obvious than zebras -> think of unicorns
