It is a fact of human nature that most people value a thing more if it
took some investment of themselves to acquire.

I think this is precisely why some people argue so vociferously for code
tesing despite the lack of any logical arguments for retaining it. That is
to say, they value it because it's hard instead of because it's necessary
(which it isn't!!!).

And here I agree with you, Alun. Now, where do we draw the knowledge line?

There are lots of logical arguments for retaining code testing. And lots of
logical arguments for getting rid of it.

Ultimately it comes down to people's opinions about what should and should not
be tested.

That's right - it's certainly not hard!

Not as a point of federal law, I think. The biggest proponents on
raap have rolled over as far as the facts are concerned, and that should be
enough for anyboy.

Alun, it boils down to the obvious reason: They had to learn morse
code so everyone else better damn well have to learn it!!!
