That's why I mentioned "crazy religious". I've seen it got that far in real world, which warps TDD to the point where a good technique is thrown away by people disgusted with the pushed purity message.
It doesn't help that often, even otherwise good material about TDD, didn't really talk about cases like exploratory coding - working from messing around in a REPL, formalizing the code into TDD skeletons, is pretty powerful method, but isn't (wasn't?) mentioned often when I learnt the most about TDD (granted, that was 2005-2015)
