in thread How to debug unknown dynamic code?

You appear to be missing the main point of the overall thread.

Debuggers find bugs and hide larger scale design issues. I am willing to put up with pain in solving specific stupid bugs if it gives me more of an opportunity to keep my overall design clean. Many excellent programmers agree. Many others disagree. But it isn't a trivially wrong choice.
