I ask Luke: "Luke, this is really odd, didn't we ran the test suite and it passed without any problems?" And Luke says "we did and and it passed" knowing full well that Chewbacca marked some tests with #[ignore] annotation and one of those ignored tests covers the exact functionality that is now failing in production. I call telling partial truth intellectual dishonesty and for all practical purposes it is indistinguishable from lying.
