      I'll go with 2, 1 to incessantly whine about the lack of light, and 1 who thinks there's 2 possible outcomes, bludgeon the first to shut them up, or change the damn bulb, and they choose the latter.

                      None. They only blackbox test.

                          None. They'll just have a contest and give away prizes to the CP member who changes it the fastest and with the most wattage.

                            What about the consultant hired by management in the vain hope that they will figure out a solution while the other two are fighting? Or doesn't the consultant count as a developer?

                                  Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
