Agree whole heartedly.
I was asking this thinking of open(<file>,O_DIRECT|O_RDONLY);
that bypasses buffer cache and read directly from the disk that atleast solves buffer cache i guess. The disk cache is another thing ie if we disable it we are good at the cost of performance.
I was pointing that tests can do these kind of things.
