I'd say there are two kinds of bugs:

1.  Common bugs, which may be firmware logic problems.  These are bugs
that everyone will see if they set up their rigs the same way.

2.  Peculiar bugs, seen by certain users.  This can be an actual
hardware failure.  It could also be some marginal condition that only
shows up on some rigs -- a design or production problem.  Or, maybe
it's an environmental issue -- power, RF feedback, etc.

Anyway, I like to think that when people report problems, they are
seeing real problems.  (Sometimes it will be cockpit trouble.)  And if
people say they don't see problems, why not believe them?

When you read postings from people with good or bad things to say, it's
impossible to know if these are representative of Orion users
generally. (Unless they're type 1, and I can reproduce them on my rig.)
Only TT knows what fraction of product shipped gets returned for repair
or credit, or how many users call in with problems.

Despite this, it's good to post your problems.  It's good to know if
your issue is being seen by others.  And maybe you'll get good advice. 
"Master reset" can be very good advice, if you haven't thought of it
before.
