I guess you're right.. however, I'm generally inclined to try to do it the right way (or, what I perceive as the right way) the first time. Now I know liberator exists, I feel an urge to use it :-)
With regards to logging, I actually considered that option, but it just didn't seem very productive to me compared to the debugging features I've been used to from doing OOP years ago.
