Multiple researchers using the same tools to find the same bugs are creating ‘unnecessary pain and pointless work’

It is because everyone else's computer is finding that same bug, and they're all reporting it separately, and reduplicating efforts associated with trialling the bugs. It's clearly more costly than having the dev themself fire a spare machine and have their computer alone find bugs.
