thinking within the box
See the following website:
http://law.hofstra.edu/pdf/Academics/Journals/LaborAndEmploy...
"The Seventh Circuit’s decision was an example of a phenomenon
popularly known as “thinking within the box.” To think within the box is
to be constrained by the familiar parameters of a problem. To think
outside the box is to be open to ideas and concepts that expand beyond
those parameters."

: Agree this is the meaning but since the author of the original passage used quotation marks, my preference is for Jack's answer - but within quotation marks. However, if asker selects your answer it will also be correct.
