Here's the crux of my argument, quality code is not a function of the number of tests. I tried real TDD 5 years ago and I can assure you code I write today (with less tests) is better than the more tested code I wrote 5 years ago. This means that there is not a clear correlation between number of tests and clean code, yet that is the central premise of the testing religion.

Regardless of anything else, shouldn't your code improve with five years additional experience?

  That was my point. Testing is not the primary factor that determines the quality of design. I see it making a marginal difference at best. Edit: Stupid autocorrect.
