Right.
If a core file is all you've got, then you do your best (and there are some nifty researchy tools that help with that). But if you could have a full recording instead of the core file, then of course you'd want the recording, because that dramatically increases the probability you'll be able to debug the bug (to near 100%, if the bug is in the code you've recorded).
