Programmers do that a lot? I always just start trying stuff in the command line until it works. It's in research though, so maybe different from what is typical developer stuff?

"Fuck it, let's try [blank]" is absolutely a valid debugging mechanism. Whether you get the same problems or fascinating new problems - you learned something about what's wrong.

Now go take a walk and let your brain figure out what it means.

Different error is definitely progress. Unless you get "1638394 rows deleted".

That's not an error though, so maybe that's what you're after!
