IMO, partly true. I really wanted describe how&when&why the bug was
discovered. I think adding 10 lines of simple java code is *optional*
(not mandatory) in the bug report since the authors of code can *verify*
the bug report's result by coding those 10 lines easily.

I think that how&when&why concept is more important in a bug report than
10 lines of code representing a wrong functionality. But, OTOH, 10 lines
can be included if one wants so ;).

Yes.
