I do think its pretty telling though that you immediately conclude that Andi meant that she randomly pushes buttons and pulls levers when she performs maintenance though.
As I edited above: she is suggesting finding an exit from the mountain range by randomly trying every valley they come across, so I think I am in quite solid ground when I say that her definition of trial and error is closer to what I'm using than to yours.
