For those who don't know, Graydon Hoare created rust language after seeing memory bug on out of order elevator.
How does one see a memory bug on an out of order elevator
I don't know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a "Thank You" email later ;-)
Were your working on the elevator or just riding it? If the latter, I imagine even being able to see the wiring was an issue.
I was just using it. But the behavior/reaction to button presses showed me that a button was obviously connected to the wrong function.
