I think they mean looking for the value/path that doesn't make sense.

  Yes. I see people getting hung up on irrelevant issues. It happens to me on occasions, but some people seems to get stuck on side effects and irrelevant errors and messages. I find it to be very irritating if it happens for people that should know better...

    The important thing to remember is that as sure you are that they're wrong, they're sure that they're right. In general I find that asking them to explain why they think this is causing the behaviour you're seeing they can usually work out they're wrong/convince you they're right. Of course this only works if they don't scream "I've found the bug" every time you step forward.
