> to know "what is clearly a bug" 100% of the time in projects you don't own

Owning a project is counter-productive for QA. If it’s your project, you know where to click and where to not click.

OTOH, you don’t need to know anything about a project to conclude that a crash with access violation, or hang with 100% CPU usage, are clearly bugs.

>90% of the time it's usually pretty clear if something is a bug, especially if there's log files full of errors.

Fwiw, you might have misinterpreted the idiomatic expression "all the time" as meaning "100% of the time". It just means "often" or "commonly". The parent is just saying they often find bugs, they know they're bugs through experience.

Of course anyone can make a mistake. Maybe you prefer the 'discussions' route because it's only seemingly then possible for a projects own devs to make a mistake in creating an issue.
