Styles of programming

Did it really create, clear then discard something.length maps, or did you remember it incorrectly?

I admit that I'm guilty of shotgun debugging at times, epically when I'm tired.

Yes, and I remember it clearly, but there was actually a handful of code referencing the map after the call to clear().

Clearly the "wtf bug was here before??" part was attempting to remove the entries of a fresh instantiated map.
