Yeah, I pitched it as a way to know how good your tests are at catching common bugs. Still no dice.

Did you considered doing it anyway? If a one-off run reveals some previously unknown flaw in the test suite you could present that.

Apologies for not seeing this.

I have added it. It got removed for adding to the build time. Never really found many issues, so I couldn't argue to keep it. Did point out that the argument was essentially against testing.
