If you are unable to identify an edge case, how can you possibly determine if it is important?

Wait, are you saying that if Alice learns of an edge case by having it pointed out to them by Bob then Alice is a priori unqualified to analyze whether the edge case is important?

    I guess GP meant, if Alice doesn't know about the edge case, she can't analyze it.
