If you think this distinction really matters wrt the point I'm trying to make, then it's time for you and I to bug out conversationally. Sometimes two individuals have such different ways of communicating that the pain of exegesis isn't worth the squeeze. No hard feelings. I'm sure 50% responsibility is at least mine, but it's not going to be worth it for either of us figuring out exactly what.

I'm not really arguing with your point, I'm correcting your incorrect description of what I'm saying.

To argue with your actual point: I don't really care about the overall context, actively disallowing tests in a codebase is a _bad decision_. Look how it worked out for them.

Fine with me
