I wish. It happens very often that such speculation derails the whole investigation. It really shouldn’t, but people are people. If the title of the bug report says that the foobar is broken it might take weeks until someone realises that they were wrong and actually the problem is in the frobnicator which feeds the foobar.
Especially when because of this we assing the investigation to the wrong team. The foobar people don’t want to appear as if they don’t take the bug seriously, but all they check everything looks normal on their side.
