Would you ask this of a woman? Why do you assume there is something wrong with OP's appearance, and that it is OP's fault if someone doesn't like how he looks? Because he is a man?

Yeah, the mere presence of unit tests is not enough. It has to actually assert something useful. When I code review, I try to make sure I call out "fake tests".

Your inability to afford a Lamborghini or fear of crashing it doesn't make it less valuable. I get what you're saying. I don't drive, nor do I want, a Lamborghini, but that fact does not reduce its value.

Yes, it's about as useless as relying on Amazon reviews. Affiliate marketing and SEO optimization have pretty much destroyed the usefulness of searching for product reviews. I usually just add "reddit" to the end of whatever
