That is an oversimplification. At some level this evidence turns
into proving a negative. If we apply that to everyone, only trivial
patches ever can be approved. Given the number of patches which have
"been explained to be correct" yet caused regressions, we obviously are
not following that principle to the extreme. If you want to volunteer to
go first, be my guest. We cannot apply the rules more strictly for some.
