This feels like disabling unit tests in order to get tests to pass. I've yet to see this strategy not blow up later.

And where the workaround is "have the humans not forget to do something" no less...

It's truly insane to put a human in the loop for something like this... its like saying don't forget to turn the oven off after 5 minutes or it might explode (ovens go through extensive compliance testing to make sure they don't cause fires even in adverse conditions).

if this had anything to do with passing a test, it would look significantly different.

the point is to make tests not fail. you can’t fail the test you don’t take.

the logic is completely sound. it’s just also removed from reality. which might make it seem a bit mad.

the whole point of the exemption they are requesting is to avoid "taking a test."
