Testy!
(How could you possibly have meant anything else?  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No idea, I'm in dev - testing is somebody else's job.
But on a related note, (British vs US English??): are exhaustive tests the same as rectal exams?

That just begs the (very, very old) question:
if talc is used for talcum powder, and garlic makes garlic powder, what makes baby powder?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Reminds me of this, which I heard 45 years ago when, as an instructor, I taught Computer Science.
The professor sprang a surprise on his students by giving them a quiz with particularly difficult questions. As he collected the answer sheets, he asked, "How do you like my little quizzie?"
One student replied, "If that is one of your quizzies, I would hate to see your testes."

Nah . . . they'll stop any such stock decline by using the employee pension fund and 401K to increased demand for the stock.*

Not really - CEOs tend to be rewarded with options not outright stock.
No downside risk.
