I've had trouble keeping the audit trail. It can distract from the flow of debugging, and there can be lots of details to it, many of which end up being irrelevant; i.e. all the blind rabbit holes that were not on the maze path to the bug. Unless you're a consultant who needs to account for the hours, or a teller of engaging debugging war stories, the red herrings and blind alleys are not that useful later.
