I guess I was just confused about why you would jump in to declare that 60% of California votes "approved this language" when you knew full well that the vast majority of voters had never even seen the language.

In twenty years in game development I have never worked on a game which had real unit tests or even integration tests. I’ve seen engines which used them, but not games. The rationale was that it was just too hard, which always felt like a
