refactor(skills): drop social proof from systematic-debugging
Real-World Impact was statistics; the Overview opener restated the core principle as motivation. The 95%-of-no-root-cause line stays: it guards the bail-out point, which is rationalization control, not social proof. Supporting Techniques/Related skills untouched (PR #1932 owns that).

## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Random fixes waste time and create new bugs. Quick patches mask underlying issues.
|
||||
|
||||
**Core principle:** ALWAYS find root cause before attempting fixes. Symptom fixes are failure.
|
||||
|
||||
**Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of debugging.**

## Real-World Impact
|
||||
|
||||
From debugging sessions:
|
||||
- Systematic approach: 15-30 minutes to fix
|
||||
- Random fixes approach: 2-3 hours of thrashing
|
||||
- First-time fix rate: 95% vs 40%
|
||||
- New bugs introduced: Near zero vs common
