It probably is introducing more bugs because I think some people dont understand how bugs work.

Very, very rarely is a bug a mistake. As in, something unintentional that you just fix and boom, done.

No no. Most bugs are intentional, and the bug part is some unintended side effects that is a necessary, but unforseen, consequence of the main effect. So, you can't just "fix" the bug without changing behavior, changing your API, changing garauntees, whatever.

And that's how you get the 1 month 1-liner. Writing the one line is easy. But you have to spend a month debating if you should do it, and what will happen if you do.
