Yeah, "lean back and ask yourself what really happened" is a great debugging method.

But, counterintuitively, it actually might work better with the projects you are less familiar with. Once you are too deep in some rabbit hole, all the details you know may have negative impact on your ability to orient yourself.

We are all victims of confirmation bias. Following hunches and ignoring evidence, it's not just for lazy tv cops, developers can do it too!
