Why does nobody talk about troubleshooting a phantom voltage on a 3-way switch circuit that took me 4 hours to trace back to a shared neutral in the attic crawlspace?

I'm torn between thinking this is just part of the job's detective work and feeling like basic residential wiring should have clearer diagrams, so what's your take on the most common time-waster you've hit?

Was it a DIY job or a pro install that messed up the neutral?

Ugh, my cousin's DIY disaster, right @betty_walker?
