From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   I didn't change anything! interj.   An aggrieved cry often heard
   as bugs manifest during a regression test.   The {canonical} reply to
   this assertion is "Then it works just the same as it did before,
   doesn't it?"   See also {one-line fix}.   This is also heard from
   applications programmers trying to blame an obvious applications
   problem on an unrelated systems software change, for example a
   divide-by-0 fault after terminals were added to a network.   Usually,
   their statement is found to be false.   Upon close questioning, they
   will admit some major restructuring of the program that shouldn't
   have broken anything, in their opinion, but which actually {hosed}
   the code completely.
