David, get real, this is never an excuse for people of our
caliber. :-)

You, myself, and many others are more than intelligent enough and more
than capable enough to debug subsystems we are not familiar with or
even have never looked at before.

As platforms maintainers, such a skill is nearly a necessity.

When I hit a problem in some subsystem and I can't provide enough
information to the subsystem maintainer for them to fix the bug, I
have to do the debugging work if I want the bug fixed.
