re: #57 Salamantis

As a former programmer I can tell you that analogy doesn’t hold water. When you’re debugging code you’re looking at how identical code performs across multiple users. So you have a control (the code, which doesn’t change) and a variable (the user’s systems). This situation has multiple variables. The errors are being generated by different code (people) in different environments (offices). Think of it this way:

ACORN is the OS
The Office is the Program
The Employee is a routine inside the Program

Until you can show interaction between the OS and the Employee that leads to the bug you don’t have a quid pro quo.
