i agree. writing tests for eclector (and especially aiming for 100 % coverage) has revealed a ton of bugs - a few even in the implementations running the tests

scymtym: there is a meme fitting what I wanted to say: "Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well" (https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/man-of-culture-meme/ :-)

as of testing, a curious fact I've heard from somebody is that statistical research shows, that usually most interesting bugs (in quantity and impact in published software) come from connection of two orthogonal modules (not in one module nor in more than 2 modules; some bugs in such combinations occure too of course)

idiomatic use seems to refer to more "depraved" (the article's word) activities than testing and finding bugs, though

well, this link I've provided is wrong, my intention and understanding of this meme is different (i.e w/o irony etc), but the image is correct

I just wanted to link to the picture, but noticed explanation and assumed, it will match my expectations, which it did not :(

regarding interesting bugs. in my experience, even simple unit tests reveal interesting bugs if ones goes for full coverage. case in point, .. is illegal, .||. is a symbol
