Exactly. Look at what he says:

Seriously? The entire company revenue depends on counting ad views and you don't have resources to make sure you're counting right? Oh, c'mon!

Strong typing has its place, but this was a bad argument in favor of it...

Very selective quoting, they clearly have integration testing.

The resolution of the post mortem was to both add 'an' (they were already set up for it) integration test, and strict typing.

The criticism of the test was that it would only cover that specific path, not others or potential future ones. Which is true.
