Uh huh, this is what the troll people are after.  Having one side of the 
conversation, their side, instead of a broader conversation about how to best 
ensure code is correct.   It’s just a wedge they can use to claim authority on 
something while also scoping the terms of the debate.

I was working on a large software project at CMU and when I implemented a new 
algorithm I would implement a couple of unit tests using the data I tested it 
with.  This would take about half an hour.  Then I forgot about them.  I got 
compliments for how useful they were in testing new releases of the system.

Marcus,

I object that, 'People that love unit tests love not understanding the problem
they are solving'. Some of us love unit tests and realize that the problem is
not solved by them.
