That said, I think he just means "do the work to get tests in place, and build the habit of running them as part of your development cycle", even if, when starting, what you're running isn't helpful. The idea being that building "write a test" "run the tests" into your iterative loop, from the beginning, is a worthwhile practice.

We all know what happens with half-work in the long run, and it certainly isn't 'they build habits towards full work'. That's before considering even if the tests do test something, most code tests written are easily improved upon garbage.
