Are you saying that you are commenting out the if test, but leaving in the return member?

In case Python for loops suddenly stop working?

Sorry to be so dense, but I am not understanding the point you are trying to make... ahhhhhh!  Are trying to guard 
against the possibility that in the future someone might accidentally delete the if test, and the unit test won't catch 
it?  That certainly is a good reason to test values further into the loop.
