I'm surprised by how many people think that SRE's job is to debug.

SRE's job is to make the software reliable, for instance by adding telemetry, understanding and improving the failure modes, the behavior under load etc.

So a better SRE test would not be "read the logs and fix the bug", but rather "read the code and identify potential issues".
