dsrtaoThe more someone is shouting "I didn't change anything!", the more likely that they did.
What I want to hear: "OK, let's look in version control... something changed at about that time. Let's change it back and see if it works."
What I expect to hear: "I don't think I changed anything, but let's double-check."
What I usually hear: "I didn't change anything! It's your fault!" and later: "Changing that fixed it. You should give better diagnostics."
(Actually, better diagnostics are usually a good idea.)
