Yes, no doubt about it.

That's the point.

Others can't be aware of "the problem", because you didn't exactly describe
what "the problem" is. We only know that you had _a_ problem.

How big are chances that you just made a programming mistake in your
code? Things like that happen to you and me and everyone -- to err is
human. That's why important things always should be checked by other
people. But the problem that you encountered can't be checked by other
people, because you can't describe it _exactly_.
