Some things will slip through the cracks, but the real issue is how
many things we would find this way, not whether we find them all.
No, if you try to achieve a "this will never be broken" standard, how
many are likely to slip through the cracks *does* matter. I'm not
arguing against increasing the amount of testing being done, only that
we are deluding ourselves if we view that testing as being sufficient to
prevent all breakage.
