And some phd's don't write unit tests... So you're completely blind in case you want to refactor/rewrite code.

Correction: most PhDs in scientific fields don't know what unit tests are. Nobody ever taught/told them to write unit tests, and they have never heard of them, have never seen one, let alone written one.

(Someone with a PhD degree here.)

I only know the PhD's students in my lab and they don't write unit tests. But now I'm there, I do my best to explain them why they should :-)
