So, in reality, if an expert isn't around, many times a less experienced member will work, perhaps even an inanimate object such as a lamp post.
Never heard of it as the lamp post technique, I always heard about this as the 'Rubber Duck Debugging' technique. So carry a rubber duck in your pocket.

P.S. In the future, source code of what you're trying to do is welcomed.
