And you are reading way more into my comment than I wrote, sorry for that.

The only point I make is this phrase:

"We didn't look into it deeply" ... "works for our purpose."

Is the definition of technical debt. The opposite of technical debt is "We looked at the options available, we clarified the requirements and the assumptions we depend on in the code for it to work, and we put these regression tests into place to warn us if someone tried to use the system in a way that violated one of our assumptions."

That sentence, which I quoted, and you wrote (its right up there in your comment) is my definition of technical debt. That my explanation wasn't clear, and that your above response still doesn't mention how you insured this its pretty clear we have very different ideas about what technical debt is and how it is mitigated.

My apologies.
