If we spend the time to enter bugs that don't get fixed, it ends up being a waste of our time.

We have no control over if Apple choses to fix our bugs or not.  Do we waste time working around a bug, then waste time reporting it?

I've got capitalization on an NSString failing at the moment with no change in the string and have to write a method that works.  If I have no faith that Apple will fix my bug, then what is my justification to narrow down the bug and report it when I will be staying late in the office as it is already? Taking the time to report the bug if we don't know if it will be fixed doesn't help our products ship any faster.  Sad reality, but it's true.
