You should.
You absolutely should spend time looking for things you expect not to find, because sometimes you will be wrong.
When you're maintaining an aircraft, a nuclear plant, or anything sufficiently complex or life critical, you should spend a certain amount of time looking for ghosts. You _will_ find them. Your model of an engineered system should include a finite rate of unknown bugs.
