I'm not going to be able to explain this well, but it troubles me. I just found a minor obscure error in some of my results, some numbers weren't totalling up right. After fiddling about for half an hour, I suddenly know with complete certainty where and what the bug was. I didn't have nearly enough information available to solve the problem, I didn't put anything together, I just knew. It was something I had no right being able to find at all, a missing key between two tables, a mistake I have no memory of making. I feel strangely put out, having squandered a revelation on something so trivial. And yes, it's 6pm on a friday. Yes, I'm going home now. _
