> they just stampede in with "THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY". And the discussion can't even be had.

That's exactly what this person is railing against. They strictly forbid testing.

Again - that's a business decision that needs to be made in the context of that business. The fact that testing was forbidden isn't in itself good or bad. It depends on that business context. THe post says nothing about how that decision was made, whether it was discussed, or if it was just his absolutist ideal he imposed without consideration of the broader cost-benefit.

And I still feel the original comment doesn't give this point enough weight.
