- scott_s 12y agoVery much yes. If someone tells me about a bug, and they tell me "It always happen when I do this", my immediate reaction is "Oh, good, that will be easy to fix." If instead they say, "It sometimes happens when we do this", then that means it's going to require serious investigation because we will need to start correlating different events to see under what circumstances the bug does and does not pop up. That is very much like the scientific method.
