Because they would want the bug fixed, obviously.

If you don't want the bug identified and fixed, fine.  Have a nice day, and 
thanks for stopping by.

No, it wasn't.

The relevant information includes items "a" through "d", which all your 
previous dissertations on this subject did not include.

Listen, slim: on several occasions in the past where I've been bit by some 
bug which I've tracked down, and identified the fix, do you know what I did?

I posted the actual details, including the patch, in Bugzilla.  I did not 
bitch, whine, and moan about it, and play guessing games with everyone else, 
expecting them to figure out the bug on their own.

And do you know what happened next, a few days later?  The bug was fixed, 
and the patch applied.

You should try that approach, sometimes.

But, if you want to feel superior, high and mighty, I suppose you can play 
your game of sitting on a throne and challenging the mere peons, down below, 
to figure out what your magnificient, oversized brain already knows. 
Allegedly.

But, you'll just have to play by yourself.  Nobody cares.
