I do and did - But visualizing/hinting common bugs/problems might help
avoiding them.

And sometimes i fix little things in the middle of a huge crowd and
starting to fix bugs in the validator may then take hours - But
sometimes one pans around on the map and sees unconnected ways which
is an important bug for me (i want to have routing) and quickly fixes
them.
