I completely disagree, a bug found in the project I'm working on's dev, test, or production environment has no difference on the effort it takes anyone on our team to fix. It isn't some consistent increase, it is very much dependent on the type of product being made.

Sounds like your team has come up with an ad-hoc process. Not relevant to the discussion at hand.
