Shouldn't checking for bugs be of primary importance. How many times have impressive research results turned out to be a mirage built upon a pile of buggy code? I get the sense that is far too common already.

You're actually making bugs sound like a feature here. I'm pretty sure that if you've gotten impressive results with ugly code, the last thing you want to do is touch the code. If you find a bug, you have no paper.
