I doubt this very much. Many people don't report the bugs when the app
crashes but later, many reports in a row. Most of my reports read "I
have no idea what I was doing when foo crashed", even if they submitted
it straight after the crash. Only 2 out of ~40 contained the information
I needed to reproduce the crash reliably (as a site note: both are
fixed, so the number of crashes fixed it 4 but not 3 as I wrote in my
initial mail. 4/40 is still a bad percentage)

Christoph
