Perhaps an explanation might be appropriate.

Neither as a college lecturer nor as a contract programmer (safety 
related code), did I ever use a debugger. The reason is that I never 
worked in an environment where (to my knowledge) a debugger was 
available. Hence, having no experience of debugging other than reference 
to the program specification, inspection of the source code and 
temporary modification of the source code, I cannot make any comment 
concerning the relevance or otherwise of other debugging tools and 
methods.
