What is Underestimating the Bug

It's like trying to catch a greased-up eel, but instead of getting wet, you just get confused.

Tip: Take your time, and don't be so sure you're right.

What to Do When You've Underestimated the Bug

Cry. Just cry. It's okay, it's a process.

Take a deep breath, and try not to get your feelings hurt.
