I don't agree.  I'm happy to trade frequency of problems for more
difficult debugging in the rare cases that problems still happen.  In
other words, provided that a new solution exposed a much smaller surface
that *could* be buggy, I'm happy for debugging problems still remaining to
be somewhat more difficult.

I also don't agree with this, for what it's worth.
