Having slop tests instead of no tests is definitely not the same thing as actually caring about avoiding bugs.

This is not about caring. This is about the real world where actual human programmers usually don't want to spend any extra time writing test suites or management doesn't give them the time to do so.

So if the starting point is "no tests", having a bunch of "slop tests" is better, right?
