I realize you jest, but I bet she did actually debug them by running through them by hand. I’ve found and fixed many bugs via code review without actually running into the bug during a run. Plus wtf else was there to do in the 1800s? Debugging might have been relatively highly entertaining in those days.
And then had the wisdom to die before a computer capable of running her programs was invented, thus saving the bother of having to debug them.
