If you are immune from mistakes, sure.

Making decisions as if you are immune to mistakes is a good way to ensure you prove yourself wrong in the worst way.

Making decisions to prevent things which should be impossible is how you build reliability.

And, adding assertions / very loud logs is a good way to be sure your assumptions hold: e.g. causing your tests to fail if the test user's password (or other privileged info, etc) appears in any logs is a fairly good extra safety layer.

That’s a great test idea I have not used myself, thanks!

I’m also working on forks of logging systems to make them smart about what they log in the first place, but not quite like the Palantir does it.
