You only need to test code if it wasn't perfect in the first place. I do
not test my code because it is perfect. Therefore my code is perfect,
and does not need to be tested.

James, need I remind you that sometimes the user is wrong? Its a
valuable feature to ignore some of their so called "preferences". An RMS
GUADEC quote comes to mind...
