You're disagreeing very passionately with points I never made. I literally said "I don't disagree that tests are essential." I followed that up with the statement that programs written in languages with compilers that perform a lot of checks at compile time tend to work as expected, to which you responded with "not true at all," and gave an extremely contrived example of something that "needs to be tested."
