When I find one bug I assume it is likely repeated all over the code and I search it out. I have been burned enough times to not consider it a must.

  There's always a subtle difference in one of the 3 implementations. Less subtle when it's 5+. That's where the time adds up.

    I also found during these kinds of sweeps large copy and pastes of code. It really lowered my opinion of those working on the same project.

      It's taught me to worry about people who happily volunteer for difficult tasks. I used to think they were troopers, now I see more and more of them as having a high pain tolerance, and I don't mean that as a compliment. Pain in information and they throw away a lot. It's a form of job security, and not a particularly benign kind. Our job is to replace painful processes with code. If you can't do that you aren't fulfilling the basic premise of your profession.
