I think his first sentence is a strawman. What I'm tired of from the TDD crowd is that they insist that people are doing it wrong if they don't do to the extreme demand of others. A great example of this is Bob Martin saying that you are absolutely doing it wrong if you don't write your tests before your code and if you don't restrict your writing of app code to the pure case of making a failing test which you wrote first pass. This is an extremist ideology, and many of us are tired of having this thrown in our face over and over again. Here is Bob saying this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpkDN78P884&feature=youtu.be&t=58m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpkDN78P884&feature=youtu.be... No one said, "testability is a meaningless goal", and it's dishonest to say that. We're saying that the extreme to which the TDD crowd takes this good general guideline is bad, and their insistence that anyone who doesn't do it that way is doing it wrong is growing very tired and someone has to speak up against it.
