"Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?"

- Brian W. Kernighan (The Elements of Programming Style)

    Isn't that what learning is called? Learning becomes information, and information becomes knowledge when it's applied to a context.

    If everyone "knows" debugging their code is twice as hard as what they code, then they are hoping for it to be maintained by someone who knows twice as much as them.
