That's the interesting part, and why I suggested that studying recurring patterns of real life bugs is productive. What we think might be a problem vs what actually is a problem can be very different.
This also reminds me of how the reliability of aircraft engines was improved during WW2. The engines were mounted on a test stand and simply run at full power until they broke. The broken part was analyzed, redesigned, installed, and the engine run again until it broke. Rinse, repeat.
