If you noticed the effects of something, then you noticed the bug, even if you didn't realize it was a bug. I'm so sick of people hiding behind semantics and claiming they didn't see or were unaffected by a bug simply because it isn't one that causes a CTD or immediately makes you cry when you see its effects. By that definition you've never seen ANY bug, because you ONLY ever witness the effects of a bug. Obviously a viewpoint like that is ludicrous, and you can't just switch on a ludicrous viewpoint whenever it's convenient to use it to look the other way or avoid a valid point.
To be honest, I had seen stupid things like in your examples. But I assumed there was some other factor involved in it that I was unaware of. I would have had no idea about the shield bug unless Id read it here. When I learned about it, I didn't play the game again until now. Was annoying.
