You hold a minority opinion that testing software in the field is
unnecessary. [...]

Allow me to share a specific example.  In this study[1], we found that
telling anonymous editors to register dropped their productivity by *25%.*

IMHO you two are actually saying the same thing on this specific example, and I agree with both. Not collecting data about IE10 users would not increase the number of *bugs* they experience. Research about our users gives important results: a finding like this would not be impeded by ignoring IE10.

At a more general level, the conclusion is harder.
