>Well, my hypothesis (that needs to be statistically tested) is that people who complain about bugs have a more negative opinion about bugs than those who do not complain. They also have less esteem of people who create bugs. And as a consequence they try harder to prevent bugs in their own programs, because each self-created bug lowers their self-esteem.

I'll have to disagree with you. I've seen too many messages over the years where people bitterly complained about some VFP bug that was, in fact, not a VFP bug at all, but a bug in their own code.
