It seems there is confusion about this.
That is completely true. However, while the test scripts are mostly very basic 'theoretical' tests of various functions, run-tests.php is a fairly complex script with a practical application. IMHO, this script itself is part of the test. Should it fail for whatever reason, that would indicate some 'break' due to ini settings, allowing the user as well as the developers (should a user submit a bug report) to determine if there is a problem and handle it accordingly.
