This is a bit off the original topic, but seems to fit what we are discussing now.
I like to use the analogy that the driver is like a test pilot. It's the driver's job to drive, but it's also his job to report accurately what he experienced so that the problem can be found and fixed. If the only thing that the pit crew gets back from the drive team is that the robot didn't work, they won't be able to do much about it, whereas if the driver tells them that when he did x, the bot did y, and only when z was happening as well, then that's a lot easier to work with.
