You and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on this. I've
seen simple reproducible problems go on for a week because somebody
prematurely ruled out a section of the root cause scope. And although
your experience might differ from mine, I and a huge majority of
Troubleshooters I talk to have found that a significant proportion of
user symptom descriptions are either ambiguous, unclear, or just plain
wrong. To assume they're right is to risk turning an easy problem into
a difficult one.

So I continue to support what Albert wrote.
