<p>There seems to be a debugging pattern that arises when problems are in proximity to a poorly understood, highly complex part of the system: We tend to think that's where the problem probably is.  And we can lose an inordinate amount of time looking for it there.  It's like an inverse streetlight effect.<p>I've seen coding LLMs do it too.  I have a well-tested, but complex, subsystem that constantly draws their attention when something non-obvious elsewhere goes wrong.</p>
