A lot of the questions asked here are variants on things we've asked before or had to answer before.

we also have alot of experience in the fields themselves, so even if a question is "new", chances are there was once a time when we needed something using the (same/similar) method

Its just installed in out minds. Its just like we(and you) know whats wrong with this problem:

2 + 2 = 5

We know whats we know whats wrong with this problem:

<style type="text/css">
font-family: arial
font-size: 18px

</style>

Practice makes Us.

...Trial and Error technique usually solves it.
Also...comparison from the correct syntax to which of which is erroneous gives us the ability to pin-point
as to which part causes the mess

This forum is very active and those of us who answer a lot of questions tend to read a lot of answers-- between all of us there is rarely something one of us hasn't run into, or at least not something that we have no idea where to start-- and once we post answers the others read it-- and knowledge builds. Great way to learn.
