Logging is lazy reasoning. Stepping through is simply seeing what is happening with a bug you can replicate. Stepping through is the step in debugging after reading the code. Even after you've read the code and think you've spotted the problem, you should step through to 100% confirm you've understood the problem. It's simply confirming the bug and the solution, it's good science, it's good practice. It's empirical.
