It's a minimal testcase; minimal. I thought the blog post was pretty clear that it had nothing to do with how the object was used after (e.g. if it was immediately destructed or not) and even linked to a real world example that would disprove that. Hence why your holier than thou attitude about not writing smelly code is just asinine and not helpful. It plays into a mindset that people who write "good code" don't have to worry about 'esoteric' bug reports (e.g. like security advisories).
