I think this is an important piece of organization culture. If the first reaction to problems is blame and punishment, issues are covered up. But if finding bugs and fixing them is considered valuable, there will be less issues in the long run.

Of course I write enough stupid bugs myself that I'm bound to think this way.

This is so true. Providing the incentive to squash bugs than punishing people for making them is the driving force for innovation in a team. Take that away, and you get a toxic culture where everybody starts finger pointing when an issue arises.
