Most likely your tester is more gifted in understanding systems than you expect her to be and this leads you to look for some other answer. Did you consider that being able to notice subtle differences is also what keeps you alive in a forest full of all kinds of dangers? It also probably helps your testers to think OOTB because they don't know in detail how you've built the program. You do, and you cannot help but expect it to work the way you intended it to work.
