If you have to break out the multimeter, it's probably just better to throw out that radio and make a new one.

I don't think this is a right analogy, because the code can't "go bad" on its own one day (as if some capacitor would go dry), unless you modify it to do so. Maybe when you don't have access to the source code and you want to see what is going on, use of debugger could make sense.
