Donald "beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it" Knuth?
I'd be kind of surprised if Knuth didn't write tests. I'd expect him to formally prove every single line of his code.

In any event, I find that using literate programming results in less buggy and more comprehensive code.
