I think we accidentally have sometimes two tests for one change, as a 
consequence of a refactoring, but that's wiped by proper test 
refactoring during the session.

I work with legacy apps, some of those in which the "test-to-code" ratio 
is generally not 2:1 but rather 10:10000. Of course I'll read the 
article. But currently I'm swimming in an ocean of untested code, so the 
assertion about how unconfortable lifeboats sometimes are is quite 
questionable to me.
