Tracing is great but often gives you a low signal-to-noise ratio and for new code, is often missing for the bug you're trying to investigate.

A debugger lets you add tracing as the system is executing, which in my experience is extremely productive, especially in C++ codebases where adding some logging can result in 10 minutes to rebuild and deploy. And I don't know what I would do without data breakpoints that give you the callstack and threading info when an address is written to.

I deleted them from one of my replies and moved them to a different reply.
Rejected a policy recommendation that cited a lot of published research.

This is about chlorpyrifos, not all pesticides or organophosphates. I don't see any generalization in the article.

And that's not the only study they referenced:
