Just read it. It's seems a "vue de l'esprit" to me . An interesting 
variation on the theme : you cannot test everything => you should not => 
some people do that, they're wrong. The blogs claims this testing

real-experience cases have been met where the (anti) solution has been 
used. Let's just ask.
