Oh man is that ever true. I'm lucky enough in one of my current projects to
have a small team of paid QA testers (very rare.) They do things I never
ever would have thought of. Some of it is so ridiculous that no one in
their right mind would try it. I get irritated until I remind myself that
we're paying them to do that. So then I fix it.
The last one was one of those "out of order" sequences I mentioned. It
caused me to rewrite a huge section that forced users into the expected
data entry sequence. Took 2 days, but we ended up with a more professional
app that also eliminated a lot of error checking.
