You don't actually code in large projects, do you? That single 'if' |
| 11 |
statement is going to multiply your needed testing coverage area by a |
| 12 |
very large amount. Even automated tests can be enough of a pain that |

PHP just had a massive security problem by being sloppy and not |
| 14 |
_running_ them prior to a point release. |
