There are some types of bugs that are hard to track down without a debugger. If you log a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" message on a typical ASP.Net page it tells you nothing basically and you're stuck trying to figure out why it could have happened with little more information than what page it happened on. The debugger is your friend in that case.
It seems like there are other ways to achieve the same end that the author is seeking.
