I think this is precisely why some people argue so vociferously for code
tesing despite the lack of any logical arguments for retaining it.

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 is
to say, they value it because it's hard instead of because it's necessary
(which it isn't!!!).

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