I would think it reasonable to expedite things by resolving minor issues however there is a safety line somewhere. If that means having to return and make maintenance replace an error prone flight computer module then so be it. Otherwise the reality is that such fixes are only work around's which can mask symptoms from others e.g. engineers. Capt is the last fail safe device and default responsible for whatever happens - so he/she needs to be the voice of reason.
