E.g. twiddling a program often fixes one bug and generates
several new ones (see also {shotgun debugging}). Bits are
often twiddled. Twiddling a switch or knob implies much less
sense of purpose than toggling or {tweak}ing it; see
{frobnicate}. {Bit twiddling} connotes aimlessness, and at
best doesn't specify what you're doing to the bit; to
"{toggle} a bit" has a more specific meaning.
