Code inspection. You know as well as the computer does what the computer is 
doing, so you can sit and pay lots and lots of attention to the problematic 
code and figure out exactly what's going on.

Which is what amazes me about medical progress, where you *don't* know 
exactly what's going on, but people manage to figure out (for example) what 
DNA replication actually *looks* like, and how fast it goes, and etc.
