Is refactoring "problem domain stuff"? I thought it was about improving the
technical design without changing what the system does. Surely refactoring
is "solution domain"?

Sorry, my poor communication skills again :-)

I was trying to say that better code review sessions often focus more on
problem domain stuff (refactoring, etc.) than bugs. Good code reviews as
much, if not more,  about building the right system than they are about
spotting and preventing errors.

Clarified?
