Debugging a program requires you to be much smarter than just writing the
program. Therefore, anybody writing a program to the full extent of their
ability will be too dumb to debug it.

(Of course, you could be brilliant and not bother to debug your code. And if
you're *that* brilliant, stop coding and get back to writing the rest of
TAoCP.)
