If you have a spare hour of development time and you want to find some
bugs, would you rather:

1. Sort through 100 bugs reports from Dan, and find maybe one trivial bug.
2. Sit down with a neophyte user and watch them try to install d-i.
3. Run fuzz on a random selection of 50 programs.

You'll find lots more valid bugs the second way, and help Debian a *lot*
more in the process. I think option #3 would even be more productive
than #1.
