And what are you going to debug when the problem does not occur and you do not know how to reproduce it? There is a lot of information you can only gather while the problem occurs. And yes, this is from the software developer and sysadmin perspective, not from the layman perspective. I would rather spend a little bit more time on the problem now instead of having it occur again and again without getting any closer to an actual solution.
The first piece of information you get is : does the problem persist beyond a restart
Every investigation takes time, I'm glad that your able to satisfy yourself with in depth investigations when necessary.
For non-life critical systems, the average protocol is to restart and see if it persists and only debug if the issue becomes problematic
