Terry actually said "In the context of debating how to improve python from where it is now, I do not find the quote very helpful, as it glosses over real difficulties of testing.  I will try to explain in the original thread." referring to https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2017-April/004436.html so if you pop over there I'm sure that you'll get your answer.
