Did you notice that Peter Norvig's factorial-operator attempts to 
replace one of the very first diamond-grade provisions of [the] FLUFL?

Disgraceful behavior! So disrespectful!

Send him to the Spanish Inquisition...


Saying that, he (Peter) lost the opportunity to promote our new 
dev.movement. As he pointed-out, tests are likely to give one a false 
sense of security with regard to the correctness of code.

Accordingly, join us in the noTDD philosophy. Like NoSQL is schema-less, 
noTDD is scheme-less (we have NO idea what we're doing).

Don't be led-astray by tests. We're all [adult-]optimists here...
